The Pediatric Dentistry program, located at 4305 13th Avenue, is a two-year program that trains five residents per year for two years. The goal of an advanced education program in pediatric dentistry is to prepare a specialist who is proficient in providing primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special healthcare needs.
This individual is trained to provide services in institutional, private or public health settings. The program encourages the development of a critical and inquiring attitude that is necessary for the advancement of practice, research and teaching in pediatric dentistry. The residency program focuses on the goals and standards set forth by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and prepares residents both didactically and clinically for certification by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. The program educates future pediatric dentists to work in coordination with members of other healthcare and social disciplines. The program produces high-quality residents who are capable of establishing, running, and maintaining a pediatric dental practice, which includes clinical skill, behavior management and business administration. Residents will be able to educate patients and parents in improving and maintaining oral hygiene. This program is a center for learning and a continuous resource for graduates, the entire dental community and the community at large.
Our prgram is an approved provider for coursework for the New York State child enteral conscious sedation license.
