Paedodontics and Preventive Dentistry
This branch of Dentistry deals with the diagnosis, planning and treatment of diseases of the teeth, the oral and para-oral region in children.
Scope
As the management of children not only is difficult from the point of managing them, but also because of their being unique because of their developmental stages. Therefore, only a Paedodontist is well qualified to address the dental needs of the children. Specialists of Paedodontics carry out all procedures in children with the exception of major surgeries. Even major surgeries in children are carried out only in consultation with Paedodontists. Even though it is a branch of dentistry, it is a complete mini-dentistry in itself.
About the Department
The department of Paediatric dentistry of the institution is fully equipped with latest dental units and surgical instruments like soft tissue laser, endo motors, RVG etc. Minor and major surgical procedures in children are routinely performed under local and general anaesthesia respectively. The department is very colourful and appeals to children. In addition, there is also a Kid's room in the department with numerous toys for children of different age groups.
