PAEDIATRIC DENTISTRY (PEDODONTICS)

It is a branch of dentistry that aims to protect the milk and permanent teeth of 0-12 age group children in a healthy manner and to eliminate the problems caused by caries, trauma, hereditary and similar factors in these teeth. Pedodontics is a branch of dentistry that follows and treats the oral-dental health and maxillofacial development of children from infancy, and also takes preventive measures against problems that may occur.

With the most appropriate examination and treatment techniques, the Pedodontics turns dental treatments into a game for children. In this way, the fear of the dentist does not occur in children. It determines the caries risk group and makes protective-preventive applications (such as fissure sealant, local fluoride application) relating thereto. It monitors the development of the jaw and teething during growth and development, and prevents possible tooth crowding with preventive orthodontic treatments. In cases where permanent teeth are missing, it improves aesthetic appearance and chewing by designing dental prostheses. In addition, it provides dental treatment for children who need special care.
