Pediatric & Geriatric Dentistry

Pediatric and geriatric dentistry play vital roles in oral healthcare across different life stages, ensuring comprehensive care for both young and elderly patients. Pediatric dentistry focuses on early dental care, cavity prevention, orthodontic interventions, and behavioral management techniques to promote lifelong oral health. Advancements such as minimally invasive dentistry, laser treatments, and fluoride-releasing dental materials have enhanced the quality of care for children, reducing discomfort and ensuring better compliance. On the other hand, geriatric dentistry addresses the unique challenges of aging populations, including tooth loss, dry mouth (xerostomia), periodontal diseases, and complex restorative needs. With increasing life expectancy, innovations in dental implants, prosthetics, and preventive strategies are essential in maintaining oral function, aesthetics, and overall quality of life for older adults. The integration of digital dentistry, AI-driven diagnostics, and biocompatible materials is transforming both pediatric and geriatric dentistry, ensuring personalized, effective, and patient-friendly treatments for these vulnerable age groups.
