It is an age specific speciality that provides primary and comprehensive prevention and therapeutic oral health care for children. It is a combination of several areas all related to the dental health of children. A healthy mouth, if maintained in infancy, will develop into a healthy environment for permanent teeth. Maintenance of good oral hygiene should begin even before the eruption of the first tooth by gently wiping the baby’s gums and cheeks after feeding. After the eruption of the first tooth, a small, soft bristled toothbrush can be used.
While treating children, our primary aim would be to provide maximum comfort to both the child and the parent / guardian, who may enter the clinical area as and when the treatment procedures are being performed.
