Pediatric Dentistry

Pedodontist (Pediatric Dentist) is a dentist who has additionally received special training after graduating from the faculty of dentistry. From the newborn (0-28 days) period to the end of the adolescence (10-18 years) period, the pediatric dentist deals with the solution of your child’s oral-dental problems. Dental caries treatment, tooth extraction, tooth fractures (traumatic injuries), tooth surface cleaning, oral and dental health education, fluoride applications, tooth surface covering with caries protective materials (fissure-pit sealant), placeholder applications, etc. is the task of the pediatric dentist.

Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. They are dedicated to the dental health of all children, including children with disabilities and special needs. In addition to standard dentistry education, pediatric dentists have received training in child psychology, growth and development for at least 4 years after graduation. They focus on preventive dentistry. They help you understand what causes dental disease. Their training means diagnosing problems at an early stage and applying appropriate approaches to prevent them. Rather than carving or filling materials, what they want to emphasize is to help children have caries-free teeth. They designed their work environment in such a way that a child can feel at peace.
Remember, a dentist who spends the extra time and money specializing in Pediatric Dentistry is a dentist who loves working with children and wants to understand children.
