Pediatric Dentistry

Remember that child that required a special skill and aptitude to be dealt with at the dental chair? Look no further: pediatric dentistry it is. This specialty of dentistry is concerned with providing primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health diagnosis, care, and consultative expertise for infants and children through adolescence, including those of all ages with special care needs.

Pediatric dentistry is a specialty closely associated with orthodontics, as pediatric dentists detect possible abnormalities in the position of the jaws or teeth and refer to the orthodontist. Because dental and maxillofacial trauma is most frequent in children, pediatric dentists are also responsible for treating traumatisms. Pediatric dentistry training usually requires 2 or 3 years of additional postgraduate training.
