Q. Okay well I know that dentistry is what I want to do with my career. I really want to be a pediatric dentist though. What do I need to do in my senior year of high school? And what courses should I need to take in college. I know you have to go through a 2 year program in a dental school after college. What should I get a degree in in college?
A. For your senior year, you will need to take college prep classes and get as good of grades as possible; you'll want to be accepted into a good four year university.
In undergrad, you will need to take the required classes for admission to dental school - these vary, but almost all schools require: Biology, Chemistry, Organic chemistry, Biochemistry, English, Calculus. Many pre-dental students major in biology or a related subject because the rereqs are the same for dental school and the major, but this isn't required.
Dental school is actually four years (3 at a few schools). After dental school, to become a pediatric dentist, you will need to do a 2 year pediatric dentistry residency. This is a total of an additional 6 years after college.

Should I bring my three year old to a pediatric dentist or our family dentist?
Q. My husband and I have been seeing the same dentist for about 10 years and absolutely love him. However, I am not sure if I should bring my three year old to see him (he does see children in his practice), or if it would be better for her to see a pediatric dentist? Thanks for any input or advice.
A. Growing up my mom tried t both ways. I can tell you that the only thing that was better about the pediatric dentist was they had more toys in the waiting room. We ended up going to the family dentist and it is now the same dentist I take my kids to. The pediatric dentist charged more for the same services and the family dentist was just as good if not better because he had known my parents longer and had a working relationship with them. He is great with my kids.
