Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry that deals with the oral health of children from birth through adolescence. Children with special needs are also treated with special care. Pediatric dentistry differs from general dentistry in that parents choose it because they are concerned about their children's oral health. A dentist who specializes in children's oral health is called a pediatric dentist. The precise definition of a pediatric dentist is a person who treats all types of dental problems in infants, children, and adolescents.
