Pediatric dentistry is an age-defined specialty providing oral health care to children from birth through adolescents, which are both preventive and primary and comprehensive, including those with special health needs.

It becomes quite easy to develop a positive association between children and the dental clinic if they are introduced to the dental clinic at a young age. However, parents need to check the dental health of their children and keep monitoring the eruption and fall of their baby teeth. Baby teeth start emerging in children during the first six months of life. By the age of six or seven, the baby teeth of children start getting replaced by permanent teeth. There have been remarkable improvements in technology, which has made it possible to prevent cavities, ensuring that your child remains cavity-free.

The first dental visit of every child should not be later than his first birthday. During the visit, the child's teeth and gums are minutely examined with the help of X-rays to reveal any decay and to look at the progress of your child’s facial bones and permanent teeth under the gums. The dentist will even advise on how to clean and care for your child’s teeth. In order to care for your teeth, it is important to keep your gums healthy. To have healthy oral hygiene, parents should visit the dentist with their children every six months.

The hardest part of the body is the outermost layer of your teeth called enamel, which covers your teeth like a hard shell. Even though enamel covers a tooth, it is not invincible. Sugar and acids, like those found in soft drinks, cause tooth decay, interacting with bacteria present in the oral cavity. Fluoride protects teeth by making them more acid-resistant, either through systemic fluoride, including water, salt, vitamin tablets, etc., or standard fluoride, including gel, toothpaste, chewing gums, etc.

When the permanent teeth start to erupt, it is advisable to go for professional fluoride treatment to protect the newly erupted teeth from developing cavities. Pits and fissures are one of the most cavity-prone areas present on the occlusal surface of posterior teeth. When a child is prone to cavities or has deep and narrow pits and fissures, these sealants cover the area and protect the teeth from getting decayed. They are used on newly erupted molars and premolars.

With technological advancements, the entire dental treatment has become simple, easy, and painless. Patients who get nervous can take sedative types of sedative methods like conscious sedation and local anesthesia. However, for the lengthy procedure and one sitting treatment, general anesthesia can be used.
