Paediatric Dentistry 1 article

Paediatric dentistry focuses on oral healthcare for infants, children and adolescents, including patients whose growth, development or behaviour changes the way dental care is delivered. The field covers prevention, caries management, pulp therapy, dental trauma, restorative treatment, eruption and developmental concerns, and behaviour guidance. Its scope is defined by the paediatric patient population rather than by one procedure. It also interfaces with orthodontics and special care when developmental or medical needs require coordinated treatment.
