KNOW WHAT IS PEDODONTICS
Shobha Tandon recommends in her book Textbook of Pedodontics that
Nature's greatest beneficent creation is the kid.
The kid is more than simply a small adult; he or she is a living creature that is constantly changing in mental, physical, and emotional ways.
Pedodontics is the discipline of dentistry that is focused with providing complete dental care and treatment to children, making it the most pleasant and fulfilling specialty in dentistry.
The paediatric dentist has the honour of starting the kid patient on the path to a lifetime of good dental health.
The term pedodontics is composed of two words: pedo + dontics. Pedo is derived from the Greek word "paid," which means "kid," and "dontics" refers to the study of teeth.
It has become more difficult to determine the precise limits and limits of pedodontics owing to continual growth and breakthroughs.
As a result, it is necessary to recognise how definitions change throughout time.
