Pediatric dentistry is supposed to create healthy permanent-tooth development.
Healthy teeth support healthy body and healthy mind.
The biggest reason I chose pediatric dentistry immediately after graduation,
because I am interested in the development process. Also, I like children.
Pediatric dentistry is concerned with;
1. Oral prophylaxis (tooth brushing, flossing, etc.)
2. Cure bad oral habits (thumb sucking, nail biting, etc.)
3. Dietary habit (limiting snacks, etc.)
4. Treatment of cavity and gums
5. Denture guidance (preventive orthodontics for nurture of normal dentition)
6. Standard orthodontics
7. Treatment of mentally and physically challenged patients
8. Restoration of fractured teeth and other emergency situations
Pediatric dentistry is evolutional. |
