There are approximately 2 million children living in the state of Michigan who will receive dental care with one of more than 5,500 MDA member dentists. Of these 5,500 MDA members, only approximately 100 are pediatric dentists.(1-3) Thus, it's safe to say that most children will find their dental homes in general dental offices. These general dentists will be providing preventive, diagnostic, and restorative care to most children under most circumstances. And with that in mind, it's of great importance that all dentists be comfortable providing high quality care to the majority of children, referring only a select group for care by a pediatric dentist.
