Abstract:

Pediatric dentistry is a unique, dynamic specialty that manages young children and shapes their healthy and beautiful smiles. A pediatric dentist plays a major role in introducing dentistry to a child for the first time. His/her responsibilities include understanding the child's genetics and environment, modifying oral habits and behavior, and successfully instilling healthy oral hygiene practices. It is an ever-so-gratifying experience to witness them reach these milestones and develop positive dental attitudes. Therefore, training is essential for every pediatric dentist to deliver optimal dental care to infants, children, and teenagers. As a responsible practitioner, a pediatric dentist must absorb all the latest innovations, evaluate them, and appraise them in order to bring more smiles and build a healthier generation. Therefore, this research paper briefly explores the future and challenges of pediatric dentistry.
