Pedodontics   is a special branch of dentistry. It encompasses exciting factors for   us dentists to consider, for the child may have important medical   disease/disorders, social problems and behavioural difficulty along with   special dental needs.

Also, the intricacies of relationship   between the child, dentist and parent, allaying fear, wiping tears and   giving comfort and solace are some of the other factors justifying the   speciality of paediatric dentistry!
           
The paediatric dental care   comprises of not only the prevention and management of dental caries and   gingivitis, but also all aspects of the tooth and developmental   disturbances, traumatic injuries, oral pathologic, conditions, dental   treatment of handicapped and medically compromised children etc.

A good paediatric dental care implies a wide range   of knowledge and skills. We believe that education is the key to the   future. For the education provided, to be of high quality we deem that   it requires purpose, commitment and enthusiasm as well as a good   knowledge base. The changes in dental education at both the graduate and   under graduate level have emphasized the need for our education to   utilise newer teaching philosophies and to be of highest quality.   “Effective education may mean different and more appropriate way of   telling a story, but the story may need to remain the same

The agenda of our department is to prepare   dental students and graduates to deliver quality dental services more   effectively to an ever increasing large number of children with a high   degree of personal and professional satisfaction. We hope to combine the   best of both worlds technowizardry and biologically sound principles,   such that we can impart nothing but the best to our patients. We vouch   for the fact that “Dental Problems and Children Should Not Grow   Together
