Active Member of the
American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric Dentistry is one of the nine
recognized dental specialties of the American Dental Association (ADA).
Pediatric dentists are specialists dedicated to the oral health of
children and patients with special health care needs. Pediatric
dentists complete two to three years of additional specialized training
(after the required four years of dental school), which includes study in
child psychology, growth and development. Their specialization
allows them to provide the most up-to-date thorough treatment for a wide
variety of children's dental problems, which include, but are not limited
to: tooth decay and cavities, malocclusion, crowded and/or crooked teeth and emergency treatments.
