About Pediatric Dentistry
Paediatric dentistry cares for children's teeth from the first tooth to the teens. Baby teeth matter: decay can cause pain, infection and affect the permanent teeth.
Take your child for a first dental visit by age one, avoid sugary bottle feeds at night, brush with a smear of fluoride toothpaste, and use sealants and fluoride as advised.
