Abstract: In the context of a deadly pandemic still lurking to infect in the form of coronavirus, children's oral health care is of great concern for practising pediatric dentists. As the pandemic subsided and lock-down measures relaxed, they started taking foods, leading to various oral health issues. Children are vulnerable to exposure to COVID-19 infections since they are usually not in the habit of locking themselves up at home. Numerous sources have pointed out that the vulnerability of children as ‘asymptomatic carriers’ of the virus may lead to the further spread of infections. However, the mortality rate is negligible. Nevertheless, providing preventive measures for children to secure better oral health hygiene with minimal intervention through information, caregivers' education, and teledentistry is crucial. To prevent cross-infection, it also is vital to follow strict protective protocols while treating child patients in dental clinics. The study was mainly conducted during the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic. It article attempted to provide vital information concerning the management of pediatric patients during the coronavirus pandemic by observing protocols and preventive measures to prevent the further spread of coronavirus.
