Pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health care of children from birth to adolescence. This field involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental problems during the child's growth and development and plays a vital role in establishing proper oral hygiene habits.

Pediatric dentists, understanding the characteristics of the growth and development of primary and permanent teeth, the stages of jaw and facial development, as well as children's psychology, provide age-appropriate treatments tailored to each child's needs. These treatments include regular check-ups, prevention of cavities, restoration of damaged teeth, pulp treatment of primary teeth, and management of space issues in the dental arch.

Preventive care such as fluoride therapy, fissure sealants, and education on oral hygiene for children and their parents is a significant part of pediatric dentistry. The main goal of this specialty is to establish a solid foundation for oral health throughout life.
