WHAT IS PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY? Pediatric dentistry is the specialty of oral health of young people. After completing a degree in general dentistry, dentists go through a rigor- ous program of minimum 2 years of training in pediatric dentistry caring for children and adolescents including persons with special health care needs. HOW CAN WE PREVENT TOOTH DECAY? Four things need to combine in order for a cavity to be present: 1- A tooth. 2- Bacteria. 3- Time. 4- Sugar and/or carbohydrates. I will happily share with you how we can make your child’s teeth stronger and more resistant to decay. Keep in mind that dental decay is an infec- tion that can be transmitted from one person to another. Visiting us early can help either prevent the process or detect and treat it early.
