Paediatric Dentist careers
A Paediatric Dentist provides dental care for infants, children, and adolescents. You might work in a dedicated paediatric dental clinic or as part of a general dental practice. Pediatric Dentists focus on diagnosing and treating dental issues specific to younger patients, including preventive care, restorative procedures, and managing dental anxiety. You’ll educate children and their families on maintaining oral health and address any developmental concerns.
Paediatric Dentists play a crucial role in ensuring children's dental health. You’ll need to be patient and skilled in communicating with young patients and their families. You’ll also need to be adept at creating a welcoming environment to make dental visits a positive experience for children.
