pediatric dentist

Have you heard of the term "pedodontist"? Most people have not heard of the term pedodontist.

Pedodontists or Pediatric dentists are dentists specialized in the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents. They are qualified to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of development. In addition, they are experienced in managing and providing treatment to individuals with special health care needs.

To become a pedodontist, an individual must first complete 5 years of dental school (BDS) . This is followed by a 3 years course (MDS-PEDIATRIC AND PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY) specializing in children.

A Pediatric Dentist is certified to:

Teach parents and kids the importance of creating good oral hygiene habits to last a lifetime.
Caries risk assessment for mother during pregnancy and later on as well.
Caries risk assessment for the infant, child, or adolescent.
Infant oral health exams
Preventive dental care including cleaning and fluoride treatments, as well as nutrition and diet recommendations.
Habit counselling (for example, pacifier use and thumb sucking).
Early assessment and treatment for straightening teeth and correcting an improper bite (orthodontics)
Repair of tooth cavities or defects
Diagnosis of oral conditions associated with diseases such as diabetes, congenital heart defect, and asthma.
Management of gum diseases and conditions including ulcers, mucoceles and pediatric periodontal disease.
Management of improper frenal attachment
Care for dental injuries (for example, fractured, displaced or knocked-out teeth)

Why should you choose a pediatric dentist for your child?

Children are not just small adults. They are not always able to be patient and cooperative during a dental exam as they simply do not understand what is happening. Pediatric dentists are trained to deal with such behaviour and make the child more comfortable throughout the process. Pediatric dental clinics are also designed to be more child friendly.
