Pediatric dentistry

Profession

Pediatric dentistry is a separate section of dentistry, since the future doctor needs to pay attention to all the structural features of the jaw of small patients. Many believe that milk teeth will fall out themselves and it is not necessary to fill them, and if they began to deteriorate, then you just need to remove them. In fact, the health of the child in the future depends on their condition, and if, without hesitation, remove diseased teeth, then permanent teeth can be prone to caries and can grow in the wrong position. The treatment of temporary teeth requires special tools and materials, special equipment and methods of pain relief — all this should be known to a pediatric dentist. To this it must be added that correcting a malocclusion is also his responsibility.

Educational Process

The educational program is designed for people with higher medical education, aimed at training highly qualified specialists in the field of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders of teeth, jaws and other organs of the oral cavity and maxillofacial area of children. From a future specialist, knowledge of child psychology, the ability to handle a child during treatment, charm, restraint, and goodwill are required. The resident gains these qualities in the learning process. It depends on the pediatric dentist what memories the child will have from visiting the dental office, how he will subsequently relate to visits there throughout his life.

Practice

Having developed skills in simulation courses, residents are distributed in the departments of dental clinics in Moscow, where under the guidance of professors of the department they have the opportunity not only to expand their knowledge, but also to see their application in practice. All the knowledge of the future pediatric dentist will be put into practice long before his graduation from the university. This will allow him to be fully prepared for professional activities and successfully realize himself in his career.
