It involves diagnosing and treating issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and developmental abnormalities. Pediatric oral pathologists focus on the unique dental needs of children, considering their growth and development stages. Conditions can range from common issues like cavities to more complex problems such as cysts or tumors. Early detection and treatment are crucial to ensure children's overall health and to prevent future dental problems.
