Paediatric Dentistry is that branch of dentistry that deals with the oral health care of children from their birth until adolescence. This branch of dentistry encompasses the management of oro-facial problems relevant to physical, behavioral, and medical disabilities. These dentists are registered as special dentists and they should have completed an additional study of at least three years soon after completing their general dental education. Under the supervision of a dental specialist, the training is provided in various hospitals and clinics. Hence, the pediatric dentist attains a wide range of experience in managing the overall dental health of children.
