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. |
