Q. Our daughter will be 4 next October. This week her pediatric dentist wants to fill a cavity. My wife took her in and the dentist said she would be sedated. I was doing a google search and found out that it's better to bring in an anesthesiologist for even a sedation. I don't want to do anything that puts my daughters life or well being in jeopardy. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
A. I wouldn't have a dentist sedate anyone I cared about, but then, I'm picky about safety.
Dentists do not have training in pediatric resuscitation. Ask if they have a pediatric crash cart with a Broselow tape, and when the dentist last updated his/her PALS certification. Dentists do not follow the same safety standards that anesthesiologists do.

A. Well, pediatric means children. So a doctor would be someone who diagnoses and assess health of children, and a dentist would take care of their teeth and such.
It depends on where you live, both would make great salaries, I assume. Go to payscale.com or salary.com and look up whatever you want.
Take challenging math courses like calculus and such. Lots of sciences like anatomy, chemistry, biology, and anything else health or body related. Find out if your school offers AP classes for college credit.
Medical school is required for both professions, that's four years. But before you go to med school, you must take four years of pre med, so you're looking at eight or more years of college. There is also training and such before you may be eligible to get a medical license and begin independent work.
Your college academic adviser will guide you through picking all your classes throughout your college career.

Why are some dentists limited to children and the disabled?
Q. I get that someone might have special training for pediatric dentistry, but I'm wondering why disabled gets tagged on to that. Most of the pediatric dentists I see advertised say in the ads "Practice limited to children and the disabled". It sounds so strange, like they are not allowed to treat non-disabled adults? Is it an insurance thing?
A. Many of the pedodontists are set up to do general dentistry using general anesthesia. Often for some disabled people this is the only way they can have their dental work done. It has nothing to do with insurance.
