Pediatric
dentistry (formerly pedodontics in American English or paedodontics in Commonwealth English) is the branch of
dentistry dealing with children from
birth through adolescence. The specialty of
pediatric dentistry is recognized by the American Dental Association, Royal College of Dentists of Canada, and Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.A little girl's trip to the pediatric dentist examining children's teeth.Pediatric (also paediatric or pædiatric) dentists promote the dental
health of children as well as serve as educational resources for parents. It is recommended by the American Academy of
Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) that a dental visit should occur within six months after the presence of the first tooth or by a child's first birthday. The AAPD has said that it is important to establish a comprehensive and accessible ongoing
relationship between the dentist and patient – referring to this as the patient's "dental home". This is because early oral examination
aids in the detection of the early stages of tooth decay. Early detection is essential to maintain oral health, modify aberrant habits, and treat as needed and as simply as possible. Additionally, parents are given a program of preventive home care (brushing, flossing and fluorides), a caries risk assessment, information on finger, thumb, and pacifier habits, advice on preventing injuries to the mouth and teeth of children, diet counseling , and information on growth and development.
