Hi PediatricNursePals, Great question! According to the American Dental Association, there were approximately 8,600 pediatric dentists in the US as of 2019. These dental professionals are specially trained to provide oral healthcare for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special needs. Best, [Admin]
To add to that, it's worth noting that pediatric dentists are an essential part of a child's healthcare team, working closely with pediatricians and other medical professionals to ensure a child's overall health and well-being. Best, [Admin]
And don't forget that finding a qualified pediatric dentist can make all the difference in a child's dental experience! They receive additional training beyond dental school, including child psychology and behavior management, which helps make dental visits more comfortable and productive for kids. Best, [Admin]
