Established in 1948, the Pediatric Dentistry Department of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology is the oldest and most prestigious in China. Currently, the department comprises six clinical zones equipped with 47 dental units, five treatment rooms under general anesthesia with recovery rooms, and an independent pediatric dental laboratory. It stands as the most comprehensively equipped, technically advanced, and largest pediatric dentistry specialty department in China. The department has a large number of high-level clinical and research-oriented professionals, with a total of 120 doctors and nurses, 21 senior titles, 4 doctoral supervisors and 4 master's supervisors. Over 60% of the physicians have overseas academic or research experience exceeding one year.

In 2016, the department completed the National Clinical Key Specialty Construction Project for Pediatric Dentistry, aligning its diagnostic and therapeutic standards with international advanced levels. Since 2018, annual patient visits have exceeded 100,000. The department offers comprehensive clinical services covering all aspects of pediatric dentistry, supported by cutting-edge technologies such as:  

1)Vital pulp therapy and pulp regeneration for young permanent teeth;  

2)Standardized diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation system for early childhood caries;  

3)Sequential management of complex dental trauma in children and adolescents;  

4)Conservative treatment for pediatric condylar fractures;

7)Occlusal guidance (e.g. early orthodontic intervention for malocclusion).  

In 1999, the department pioneered China’s first pediatric dental treatment under general anesthesia. It has since established a robust clinical framework for comfortable and safe sedation practices, performing over 1,000 cases of general anesthesia/sedation-based treatments annually, ranking first nationwide.

The development goal of our department is to build a leading pediatric stomatology specialty in China and with strong competitiveness in the world, which integrates high-level talent training, advanced medical service, cutting-edge scientific research and transformation, and is able to assume important social responsibilities and reflect social public welfare.
