Pediatric dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that is responsible for the prevention and promotion of oral health, diagnosis and treatment of children, adolescents and newborns; from earliest childhood to the end of growth.

A Pediatric Dentist is a dentist who is an expert in children's dentistry, who, in addition to having all the medical tools, has the qualities and skills to know how to deal with a child, gain their trust and make their visit to the dentist a comfortable, playful and pleasant experience. .

When is it necessary to take the child to the dentist for the first time?

The earlier the visit to the dentist, the better it will be. We recommend that from 6 months onwards the child should be taken to the dentist for a first check-up, even before the first baby tooth has emerged, to check the condition of the gums and give hygiene talks to the parents for prevention of oral diseases that affect deciduous and permanent teeth.
