What is the difference between a dentist and a pediatric dentist?

A regular dentist treats all ages, but a pediatric dentist trains two more years just for kids. They learn child growth behaviours and small mouth sizes. Pediatric dentists use kid-size tools and fun words to ease fears.

What is done in pediatric dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry covers cleanings, exams, fillings, and habit help like thumb stopping. It teaches brushing with songs and checks for straight teeth growth. Sealants and fluoride keep cavities away from young smiles.

What is the rule of 7 in pediatric dentistry?

The rule of seven says to see a pediatric dentist by age one, or within six months of the first tooth. This starts checkups early to spot issues and build good habits. It stops big problems and makes kids love dental visits.
