Pediatric dentist 1 article

Pediatric dentist is a dental specialist whose practice is focused on infants, children and adolescents, including patients with additional healthcare needs. The specialty combines prevention, restorative care, management of dental trauma, pulp treatment in primary teeth and age-appropriate behaviour guidance within the context of a developing dentition. Its scope differs from adult general dentistry because growth, eruption, primary teeth, safeguarding and communication with caregivers are integral to diagnosis and treatment planning.
