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.
If you take your child to the same dentist you see, he or she may not be getting the best care possible. Pediatric dentists have an additional two years of schooling in which they focus on the growth and development of teeth. They also learn how to help children be comfortable and deal with their fear and anxiety.
