Pediatric Dentistry

The predoctoral curriculum and clinical activities in Pediatric Dentistry at the School of Dental Medicine are quite extensive and expose the student of dental medicine to the full scope of pediatric dentistry theories and principles. Dr. Deborah Studen-Pavlovich is the Predoctoral Director for the three years of didactic and clinical education. The pediatric dentistry didactic curriculum begins in the second year of predoctoral studies. There is a fifteen week preclinical program that culminates in the student's ability to enter the clinic to treat appropriately screened pediatric dental patients. Students gain clinical experience under full supervision of our faculty in preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, pulp therapy, space maintenance, child management and in other areas of interest.
