In our Department of Pediatric Dentistry we have a wide range of approaches to help a child complete the required needed dental treatment. Educational goals of the department are to enable the dental student at the undergraduate level to develop a strong competency in pediatric dentistry and increase theoretical and clinical judgment, technical skills and case-organizational abilities. Demonstrated competencies are emphasized in preventive measures and treatment of conditions including plaque control, patient education and emergency treatment of pain & infection. Restoration of Primary and Permanent teeth to proper form and function. Maintenance and/or restoration of space in the Dental arch to achieve or retain aesthetics & function. Recognition of malocclusion with priority provided for interceptive services. The aim of the department is to improve the oral health of infants, children, adolescents and their families with special emphasis being given to improving the oral health of children with special health care needs and children of low-income backgrounds or with limited access to oral health services.
