Abstract: Dental caries is the most common oral disease in children，with the characteristic of high prevalence and low treatment rate in China. In recent years，with the further understanding of caries and the progress of dental materials and technologies，pediatric dentistry focuses not only on the treatment of dental caries in children，but also on its early prevention，diagnosis，and intervention. In addition，minimally invasive concepts are used throughout the whole process of prevention，diagnosis and treatment of dental caries in children. In this paper，we introduce the occurence and development of dental caries，caries risk assessment and management and how to remove caries lesions in children.

Key words: dental caries in children, caries risk assessment, caries management
