Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental care of children from infancy through adolescence. It plays a vital role in establishing a strong foundation for lifelong oral health. With specialized training and knowledge of children’s dental development, pediatric dentists are equipped to address the unique needs of young patients, ensuring their teeth and gums are properly cared for during these important formative years.
