Pedodontics

Children’s Dentistry

Pediatric dentists are committed to the oral health of children from infancy to adolescence. They have the experience and qualifications to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth at all stages of development.

Children are not just miniature adults. They are not always patient and cooperative during a dental examination. Pediatric dentists understand how to examine and treat children in a way that makes them feel at ease. Furthermore, pediatric dentists use specially designed equipment in offices that are designed with children in mind.

A pediatric dentist provides a variety of treatment options as well as expertise and training in caring for your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth. When your pediatrician recommends a dental exam for your child, you can be confident that a pediatric dentist will provide the best possible care

Geriatric Dentistry

Geriatric dentistry is concerned with the oral health of the elderly, who often have serious medical problems and are on multiple medications. Furthermore, they may have psychological and socioeconomic issues that necessitate sophisticated dental management.

A fundamental premise of geriatric dentistry is that elderly people frequently exhibit symptoms of dental decay and gingival (gum) disorders that differ from those seen in younger people. Dental care for the elderly is thus tailored to their physical and mental limitations.

Even with good oral hygiene, oral health problems are common as we age. A geriatric dentist is trained to diagnose and treat common age-related oral health problems such as tooth loss, cavities, oral cancer, and gum disease.
