What is Pedodontics (Pediatric Dentistry)?

Pedodontics, also known as pediatric dentistry, is a branch of dentistry that focuses on protecting and improving the oral and dental health of children aged 0-16. A pediatric dentist specializing in this field monitors the development of children's primary and permanent teeth and their alignment within the jawbone; treats decayed teeth and administers preventative treatments to healthy teeth.

Oral hygiene habits acquired during childhood form the foundation of a healthy smile later in life. Therefore, specialties such as pediatric dentistry are crucial not only for therapeutic but also preventative dentistry.

Treatments Covered in Pedodontics

The main pedodontic treatments applied in the field of pediatric dentistry are:

  • Primary and permanent tooth fillings, root canal treatments, and extractions if necessary
  • Fluoride and fissure sealants to prevent tooth decay
  • Treatment of trauma resulting from falls or impacts
  • Space maintainers to protect the space in cases of lost primary teeth
  • Preventive orthodontic evaluations
  • Tooth brushing techniques and oral hygiene education

Because every child's dental development is unique, creating a personalized follow-up plan is crucial.

Why Choose a Pedodontist?

To help children overcome their fear of the dentist and develop positive dental habits that will last a lifetime, it is recommended to consult a pedodontist, pediatric dentist who specializes in pediatric oral and dental care. These specialists are also trained in child psychology and ensure children receive safe and comfortable treatment.

It is important to remember that the health of primary teeth directly affects the placement of permanent teeth and jaw development. An infection in primary teeth can cause serious problems in permanent teeth later in life.

When Should the First Dental Exam Be Held?

The first dental exam should be performed when the baby's first tooth emerges, or at the latest by the age of one. This early checkup assesses the risk of decay and allows for the necessary preventative measures to be taken promptly.

Afterward, regular checkups are recommended every six months. These checkups allow for close monitoring of the child's dental development and the early detection of potential problems.
