Pedo scope of practice

[BiomajorPreDent]

I am interested in information on pedo. I was wondering, what exactly is the scope of practice for pedo?

I assume you aren't doing crowns, bridges, veneers, and endo right?

The scope of practice is age, and if a patient has special needs, your ability and comfort level in rendering the services becomes your scope.
I render all the procedures that you inquired about, not on a routine basis, because most of the patients I treat do not require care of that extent, but when they do I make sure they have the best treatment I can offer within my abilities and training received. I also had some extra advanced training beyond dental school prior to my peds residency
