Current Research and Professional Education Opportunities
Research Projects
The Division of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics conducts a number of research projects independently and in collaboration with medical providers and dentists locally, regionally, and nationally.
Residency Program
We offer a internationally recognized residency program in Pediatric Dentistry accepting seven highly-qualified candidates from over 200 applicants yearly. Our residents come from all across the country to expand their knowledge and clinical skill in our department. Our residents have gone on to be leaders in organized dentistry and advocates at the local, state, and national level.
Scott Schwartz, DDS, MPH, serves as the residency director. Our program is fully accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA).
We also offer two day externships to third- and fourth-year dental students who wish to observe a day in the life of a pediatric dental resident.
