Treating children and teens involves more than cutting-edge dental care. It also involves easing fears and helping those with special needs or complex medical conditions. The Department of Pediatric Dentistry at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry teaches dental students and residents to meet the unique needs of pediatric patients. With guidance from experienced faculty, trainees provide our communities with low-cost, high-quality services, including diagnostic, restorative, and preventive dental health procedures. Patients receive exceptional care, and students receive invaluable experiences to enrich their classroom learning.
Your generosity will help ensure children have the knowledgeable dental leaders they need for generations to come.
