Pediatric Dentistry:
A Recognized Dental Specialty


Pediatric dentistry is one of the nine recognized dental specialties of the American Dental Association. Pediatric dentists complete two to three years of additional specialized training (after the required four years of dental school) to prepare them for treating a wide variety of children's dental problems. They are also trained and qualified to care for patients with medical, physical or mental disabilities.

Quick Tip:

Primary dental care for your child needs to begin with a dental visit 6-12 months after the first tooth erupts.
