Pediatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry dealing with children from birth through adolescence. The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. Children of different age groups need different approaches to dealing with their behavior guiding their dental growth and development, as well as helping them avoid future dental problems. A pediatric dentist cares for special needs patients as well.
Outside of his white coat, Dr. Butler enjoys cooking, traveling, and spending time with his furry, four-legged son, Chapo. He also gets a thrill out of flying and, at the age of 12, began his formal training at Embry Riddle University.
