High Quality Dental Services at Reduced Fees for Children 6 Months to 16 Years
Nothing is as beautiful as a child’s smile. With proper care and regular dental visits, children can reach adulthood with a lovely smile, free of dental disease.
At University of Maryland’s Pediatric Dental Clinic, our pediatric dental specialists focus on the oral health and unique dental needs of children ages 6 months to 16 years, including children with special needs.
The Pediatric Dental Clinic provides affordable, comprehensive dental services for children that help:
- Improve your child’s smile & appearance
- Prevent cavities/tooth decay & gum disease
- Improve overall oral health
The Pediatric Dental Clinic includes both Pre-Doctoral and Post-Doctoral services.
- Typically, services in the Pediatric Dental Clinic are provided by third- and fourth-year dental students (pre-doctoral students) under the close supervision of experienced faculty dentists. Patients receive high quality dental care at fees that are significantly lower than private dental practices.
- For patients with more complex dental needs, services are provided by post-doctoral residents (dentists who have graduated from dental school and are completing an additional two years of specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry). Patients receive expert dental care at fees that are higher than the fees for the pre-doctoral services described above, but still lower than the fees charged in private practice.
- All services are supervised by expert pediatric dental faculty members.
The University of Maryland School of Dentistry’s Pediatric Dental Clinic offers comprehensive dental services for children 6 months to 18 years. New patients are taken up to age 15 ½ in the Pediatric clinic. (beyond age 15 ½ please call 410-706-7285 for adult screening).
