Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teenagers. Pediatric dentists are trained to handle children's dental needs with gentle care and child-friendly techniques.
Children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when the first tooth appears. Early checkups help prevent cavities and detect issues early.
Baby teeth help children chew properly, speak clearly, and guide adult teeth into their correct position. Healthy baby teeth prevent infections and ensure proper jaw development.
Children should visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. More frequent visits may be recommended for children with high cavity risk.

• Encouraging twice-daily brushing
• Limiting sugary snacks and drinks
• Scheduling regular dental visits
• Getting fluoride treatments and sealants when recommended
