A children's dentist, also known as a pediatric dentist, is a dental professional who specializes in the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence. They have received additional training and education beyond general dentistry to care for the unique dental needs of children, including their developing teeth and jaws.
Children's dentists are important because they can help prevent and treat dental problems that can affect children, such as cavities, gum disease, and malocclusion (bad bite). They can also provide guidance on proper oral hygiene habits and nutrition to help children maintain healthy teeth and gums throughout their lives.
