What does it mean to be Certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry?
Not all pediatric dentists are certified by American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD). The ABPD certifies pediatric dentists based on standards of excellence that lead to high quality oral health care for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special health care needs. Certification by the ABPD provides assurance to the public that a pediatric dentist has successfully completed accredited training and a voluntary 2-part written and oral examination process designed to continually validate the knowledge, skills, and experience requisite to the delivery of quality patient care. Dr. Jana was a recipient of the Pugh Award of Excellence for scoring in the top 3% on the written portion of the ABPD examination.
A pediatric dentist certified by ABPD is also known as a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Jana is a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
