The Pediatric Dentistry Certificate program offers the advanced student a balanced curriculum in both didactic and clinical areas.

All application materials should be submitted through ADEA PASS.

We emphasize hospital dentistry, conscious sedation, interceptive orthodontics, and special patient care. The university pediatric dentistry program is administered by the Department of Developmental Dentistry. It is approved and accredited by the American Dental Association Council of Dental Education. Upon successful completion of all dental school requirements, you will be awarded a Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry.
