The pedodontist approaches dental problems in children at three different levels, where the aim is awareness and use of interventional methodologies to treat dental issues in children. These approaches are: Dental counseling, preventive treatment, and corrective treatment. Children can be prone to dental problems because of carelessness, habits, hereditary issues, and bad oral hygiene.
