We are the Washington State Academy
of Pediatric Dentistry.
We strive to ensure optimal oral healthcare for all children.

Pediatric dentistry is a recognized specialty of dentistry, which requires additional training beyond dental school. A pediatric dentist must satisfy both didactic and clinical requirements from an accredited institution to be considered a specialist. These specialists are trained to manage oral disease, while monitoring growth and development of infants, children, adolescents, teenagers, and persons with disabilities of all behavior patterns. A pediatric dentist also is capable of providing age-appropriate treatment recommendations with regard to continuous and comprehensive care in this patient population.
