Pedodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to the oral health of children, from the appearance of the first tooth until adolescence.
In infants, the first tooth appears around the age of 6 months, and starting at the age of 6-7, the baby teeth begin to be replaced by the permanent ones. Without proper dental care, children can face problems that cause both discomfort through associated pain and complications that can have consequences for the rest of their lives.
