Healthy teeth, healthy smiles, and healthy communities. That’s what matters to us here at Pediatric Dental Associates. Through our pediatric dentistry residency programs operated in partnership with Temple and Cooper University Hospital, we’re giving dental professionals the opportunity to brighten the smiles of the future.
