A Odontopediatria é a especialidade da Medicina Dentária responsável pela promoção, diagnóstico e manutenção da saúde oral nas crianças e adolescentes.
A primeira visita à consulta de odontopediatria é recomendada a partir do primeiro ano de idade para observar a criança e para sensibilizar os pais para as medidas preventivas de saúde oral.
Por volta dos 3 anos de idade, quando a criança completa toda a dentição decídua e mais tarde, por volta dos 6 anos, idade provável do início da dentição mista (mistura de dentes de leite com início de erupção de dentes definitivos), é essencial uma nova visita ao médico dentista.
O acompanhamento precoce da criança, permite controlar o desenvolvimento dentário e facial, prevenindo problemas dentários e esqueléticos que possam ser agravados na idade adulta. Pode, inclusive, ser diagnosticada a necessidade precoce de utilização de aparelho ortodôntico.
A particularidade da consulta de odontopediatria reside na utilização de estratégias que visam eliminar, desmistificar e atenuar medos ou fobias relativamente à ida ao dentista, possibilitando encarar o tratamento dentário como uma experiência divertida e animada. São ainda abordados os temas da alimentação e da escovagem fundamentais para a manutenção de uma correta saúde oral e assim prevenção da cárie dentária.
