Pediatric dental practices
Kythro for pediatric dentists
A pediatric practice runs on a relationship with two people at once: the child in the chair and the parent holding the phone. Most dental software models only the first. Kythro links every child record to a guardian contact, so reminders, treatment plans, consent forms, and receipts route to the adult who actually books and pays, while the clinical chart stays on the child. The Pediatric specialty module turns on primary tooth notation, age-appropriate procedure types, and the recall cadence young patients need.

Questions
Can Kythro link a child's record to a parent or guardian?
Yes. Each patient record carries a guardian contact, and all outbound WhatsApp messages, appointment reminders, treatment plans, and receipts route to that number. Siblings can share a guardian, so a parent gets one thread rather than one per child.
Does the dental chart support primary teeth?
Yes. Enabling the Pediatric specialty module switches the chart to primary and mixed dentition notation, so procedure records land on the correct tooth for the patient's age instead of being forced into permanent-tooth numbering.
How does Kythro handle six-month recalls for children?
The recall queue tracks every patient due for a check-up and surfaces them as a working list for the front desk. Pediatric recalls tend to be the highest-value list in the practice, because a child seen twice a year for a decade is worth far more than a single restoration.
