Becoming a board-certified pediatric dentist requires additional years of specialty training in children’s oral health, followed by a comprehensive examination through the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. This credential reflects advanced expertise in caring for infants, children, and teenagers, including patients with special health care needs. At Bruce E. Matthews, DDS, PA, Dr. Katie Matthews has earned this board certification, allowing her to provide exceptional pediatric dental care that supports healthy, confident smiles from an early age.
