Pediatric Dentistry

The pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry responsible for treating children . The pediatric dentist will, therefore, be in charge of exploring and treating children and newborns. It is also responsible for detecting possible anomalies in the position of the jaws or teeth to refer to the orthodontist , specialist in orthodontics , and to make a restorative treatment if needed. The restorative treatment mainly consists of treating the injuries, using sealants that have the function of slightly closing the grooves and fissures of the teeth without hardly removing dental material to avoid possiblecaries , and in treating the caries produced and its consequences.
