Dental care for babies, also known as pediatric dentistry, is the specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through adolescence.
Regular dental checkups are essential for babies and children to ensure optimal oral health. These checkups allow dentists to monitor the development of the teeth and gums, clean and polish the teeth, and provide fluoride treatments to prevent cavities. Early detection and treatment of dental problems can help to prevent more serious issues later in life, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and malocclusion (crooked teeth).
