Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special health care needs. It emphasizes preventive care, early diagnosis, and the management of dental growth and development to establish a lifetime of healthy oral habits. Pediatric dentists also manage complex developmental anomalies, dental trauma, and behavioral challenges associated with care delivery in young populations.

We welcome original research, clinical studies, and review articles that advance pediatric dental care at the Journal of Dentistry: Oral Health & Cosmesis. Topics of interest include preventive strategies, caries risk assessment models, behavior management techniques, and the role of nutrition in dental health. Contributions that incorporate innovations in minimal intervention dentistry, teledentistry applications for pediatric patients, and interdisciplinary approaches with pediatric medicine are particularly valued.
