Pedodontics involves the dental care of children. It aims to promote good oral and overall health in children and adolescents. The scope of pedodontics has expanded over time due to factors like increased fluoride use, advances in technology and materials, and greater recognition of the importance of dental health. Current trends in pediatric dentistry include an emphasis on prevention, child psychology, advanced restorative techniques, preventive orthodontics, endodontics, forensics, and genetics.
