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.
Dental school takes four years to complete at full-time status, so those who complete a bachelorâs degree first will be in school for eight years. Those who do not finish a bachelorâs degree first or who complete a combined bachelorâs and doctoral degree program may take less time to finish their schooling.
