What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Prevention Starts with the First Tooth

​

Pediatric Dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of children. After completing a four year dental school curriculum, two to three additional years of rigorous training are required to become a pediatric dentist. This specialized program of study and hands on experience prepares pediatric dentists to meet the needs of infants, children and adolescents, including persons with special health care needs.

​

When helping children, we often work with pediatricians, other physicians and dental specialists, as part of our commitment to the overall health and well-being of all our patients. We can also accommodate the special needs of those with medical, physical or mental disabilities. All young people are served best through this team approach.
