A pediatric dentist is a dental specialist who has completed additional education and training in the care of children's teeth, gums, and mouths. They are specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and manage the dental needs of infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special needs. They focus on preventative care and early intervention to help children maintain healthy teeth and gums. They also perform procedures such as cleanings, fillings, and extractions, as well as more complex procedures such as orthodontics. They are also knowledgeable in the management of children's behavior and are able to provide a comfortable and safe environment for their young patients. They are also able to communicate with parents and caregivers to ensure the best possible oral health for their young patients.
