*NursingManthra’s Prometric / Pearson VUE Review Material for Pediatric Dentistry Specialist*

Pediatric dental care requires decisions that account for more than the condition of a tooth. The child’s age, development, behaviour, medical history and ability to cooperate all influence the safest and most appropriate treatment.

NursingManthra’s Pediatric Dentistry Specialist review material is designed around these considerations. The planned 2,000-MCQ question bank follows the topic coverage in the supplied examination reference and supports advanced preparation for specialists caring for infants, children and adolescents.
