Pediatric Dentistry Clinical Services

Students, residents, and preceptors in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry provide compassionate, high-quality dental care for children under the supervision of experienced faculty. This collaborative training model enables learners to develop technical expertise, communication skills, empathy, and effective behavior management techniques.

A central goal of the department is to create positive dental experiences that reduce fear and anxiety while building trust and confidence in young patients. Emphasis is placed on early intervention, education, and preventive care to establish lifelong oral health habits.

Through family-centered education and patient engagement, the department promotes oral health literacy and empowers families to maintain optimal dental health for their children.
