Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on the oral health of young people. Following dental school, a pediatric dentist has two to three years of additional specialty training in the unique needs of infants, children and adolescents, including those with special health needs. A pediatric dentist is the dental equivalent of a pediatrician in the medical community. Pediatric dentists see only children and are prepared to treat their special dental needs.
