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.
