Hello all pre-dentals. We are bringing in a new segment here on the blog, called Career Spotlight<\/span><\/em>, where we showcase and explore the nine dental specializations<\/a>, different career settings, positions, and more in the wide world of dentistry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After your four years of dental school and you are crowned the title of a DDS<\/strong> (doctor of dental surgery<\/em>) or a DMD<\/strong> (doctor of dental medicine<\/em>) you can choose to go above and beyond with additional post-graduate training to specialize!<\/p>\n

With this specialized training you can hone your skills and knowledge specifically<\/em><\/strong> in the area of dentistry you desire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For our first trick: Pediatric Dentistry<\/span>!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought this would be a good place to start with specializations since it\u2019s still a broad population of patients you will see: children<\/strong>. Even though pediatric dentistry refers to the treatment of the \u201cpediatric population<\/em>\u201d, this actually covers a wide age range with widely varying needs<\/strong>, including all those between birth through the adolescent years<\/span>. Check out the intro video from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry<\/a> below.<\/p>\n
