Pediatric dentists have completed at least:

• Four years of dental school, plus
• Two additional years of specialized training in dentistry for infants, children, teens, and children with special needs

Part of the coursework includes education in child development and psychology as well as treatment of patients with special health care needs, language development and language disorders. Pediatric dentists are trained to examine and treat children to enhance their comfort and trust. In addition, pediatric dentists use special equipment adapted to children and their offices are designed and decorated to help children feel at ease during the appointment.

A pediatric dentist offers a wide range of treatment options, as well as expertise and training to care for your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth.

Dr. Dan Streeby graduated from Creighton Dental School in Omaha, Nebraska and completed a two-year Pediatric Residency at the University of Nebraska. He has been practicing pediatric dentistry in Boise since July 1999.

Dr. Streeby is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), the American Dental Association (ADA) and is board eligible. Dr. Streeby is married and has three children, ages six, four and two.
