ADHD and It's Coorelation with Pediatric Dentistry

In the lively, unpredictable world of childhood, attention often dances from one moment to the next. Curiosity runs freely, energy spills into every corner of the day, and the mind leaps forward faster than the body can follow. For some children, however, this restless rhythm becomes a defining part of life. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, commonly known as ADHD, is not merely a label in a medical chart; it is a way in which the brain experiences the world-faster, louder, and often more wander quickly, their focus may flicker like candle in the wind, and their impulses may outrun their intentions. In Pediatric dentistry, ADHD is associated with several oral health challenges. Children with ADHD often exhibit poor oral hygiene, irregular brushing habits, and frequent snacking, which increase the risk of dental caries. Their hyperactive and impulse behavior also makes them more prone to dental trauma.
