What board certification means
1
Specialty residency
Not all dentists who treat children are certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD). Pediatric dentists complete an accredited multi-year specialty residency focused on infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special health care needs. Dr. Carroll completed a two-year post-doctoral specialty education program in pediatric dentistry at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia.
2
Board certification
Board certification is an additional voluntary credential beyond completing a pediatric dental residency. The ABPD certification process includes a voluntary examination process designed to continually validate the knowledge, skills, and experience required to deliver high-quality pediatric dental care.
