ABOUT

Pediatric caries and early childhood oral diseases are among the most common chronic conditions affecting infants and young children worldwide. Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a rapidly progressing form of dental decay that can begin soon after tooth eruption. These conditions are strongly influenced by feeding practices, oral hygiene habits, diet (especially sugar exposure), socio-economic factors, and parental awareness. Early detection and preventive strategies are critical to ensure proper oral development, nutrition, speech, and overall child health.

Improved child nutrition and growth by maintaining pain-free dentition
Reduced healthcare costs by preventing advanced dental treatments
