Frequently Asked Questions:
What does it mean to be a "Board Certified" Pediatric Dentist?
The Mission of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry is to verify to the public and to the health professions that a pediatric dentist has successfully completed both an advanced educational program accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation and a voluntary examination process designed to validate the knowledge, application, and performance requisite to the delivery of proficient care in pediatric dentistry.
The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry is the only certifying board recognized by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association for the specialty of Pediatric Dentistry.
