Cerebral Palsy is caused by brain injury or brain malformation that occurs before, during, or immediately after birth while the infantâs brain is under development. But how a brain injury affects a childâs motor functioning and intellectual abilities is highly dependent on the nature of a brain injury, where the damage occurs, and how severe it is.
Dental School. Like all dentists, pediatric dentists must earn one of two degrees: Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine. The degrees are equivalent and require a minimum of four years of study at dental school. Admission to dental school is competitive.
All dentists in the United States undergo at least three years of undergraduate studies, but nearly all complete a bachelor's degree. This schooling is followed by four years of dental school to qualify as a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD).
