Established in 1940 by the American Society of Dentistry for Children, the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD) stands as the sole ADA-recognized certifying board specializing in pediatric dentistry.
At the heart of the ABPD's mission lies a vision to uphold excellence in pediatric dentistry through the certification of every pediatric dentist. This commitment to excellence is foundational to the board's endeavors.
Pediatric dentists who earn certification from the ABPD have demonstrated a steadfast dedication to delivering exemplary oral healthcare to infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special healthcare needs. This achievement signifies the attainment of rigorous standards in education, training, and clinical competency.
Beyond the initial certification process, maintaining ABPD certification necessitates a commitment to lifelong learning and professional development. Board-certified pediatric dentists engage in continual education to stay abreast of the latest advancements and best practices in the field, ensuring that their patients receive the highest standard of care.
By choosing an ABPD-certified pediatric dentist, patients and their families can trust in the expertise, dedication, and ongoing pursuit of excellence exemplified by these distinguished professionals. Through certification, pediatric dentists affirm their unwavering commitment to the well-being and oral health of the children they serve.
