Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. In other words, they are experts in the field of children’s care.
|
|
| Pediatric Dentistry requires additional years of training in a pediatric residency beyond general family dentistry. After completing dental school, pediatric dentists are further trained for the unique dental health needs of children. Although family dentists may have a general understanding of how to treat children’s teeth, pediatric dentists have obtained an expert level of knowledge regarding children’s health through rigorous advanced training. | |
| Our specialized education consists of child psychology, behavior, growth and development, management of oral-facial trauma, sedation, general anesthesia, and much more. This specialized program of study and hands-on experience prepares pediatric dentists to meet the unique needs of young infants, children and adolescents, including persons with special health care needs. |
