Pediatric Dentistry is the branch of Dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of oral diseases in children and adolescents under 13 years of age. Pediatric Dentistry has special training in psychological management techniques for infants and uses special equipment and procedures to treat these patients in such a way that their visit to the Dentist is a good experience and does not cause future trauma. Many parents do not give much importance to teeth in their early stage, especially because they know that they are going to change at some point and new ones are going to arrive, and temporary teeth have a very important job both aesthetically and functional, as well as we must not forget that the correct eruption of permanent teeth will be directly related to the good condition of those known as baby teeth.
