Pediatric Dentistry
A children's dentist is a specialist trained to provide preventive and
corrective dental care effectively and in a pleasant manner for children. The
instillment of positive health habits is a paramount goal. To become a
children's dentist, two to three years of training are required beyond dental
school in areas such as child development, psychology, developmental
disabilities, and treatment of dental trauma in children.
Dr. Tim chose to become a dentist because it appealed to him as interesting work
that involves helping people in a significant way. He specifically chose
pediatric dentistry because he likes working with children and enjoys the
strong evolving preventive emphasis that dentistry can offer children.
