MDS Pediatrics and Preventive Dentistry

Overview

• The Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry has been formed on the firm belief that "Every child has a fundamental right to his total oral health".
• Our concerns are the health of a child as a whole, more specifically the oral health; early diagnosis and prompt treatment; restoring the mouth to good health; to observe and control the necessary developing dentition of the child patient, relief of pain; increase awareness among parents and care-givers; instill a positive attitude and behavior; restore the lost tooth structure and management of patients who are physically, mentally disabled and medically compromised children in an efficient and orderly manner so as to avoid discomfort to the patient and at the same time avoiding any bias towards the special condition of the children.
• Pedodontist also holds the privilege of being the first person to diagnose the earliest signs of any systemic disorder which are manifested more frequently in a child???s oral cavity as compared to adults.
