Why A Pediatric Dental Specialist

Pediatric Dentistry | Orthodontist | Amy Light, DMD, PC | Potomac, MD

Pediatric Dentistry is a specialty in dentistry that focuses on the oral health and unique needs of young people. All dental specialists begin their training by completing 4 years of dental school and then continue their dental education with 2 to 3 years of additional rigorous training to become a specialist in pediatric dentistry. The specialized program of study and hands on experience prepares pediatric dentists to meet the needs of your infants, children and adolescents, and children with special health care needs.

Our pediatric dentists enjoy working with children and bring to each patient our expertise in childhood development and behavior. Because our office is geared toward children, you will find that our staff, as well as our office design and decorations, all work together to provide an especially friendly and comfortable environment for children.
