Education

We are proud to invest in the next generation of clinicians who will impact lives through dentistry. Our partner, Pediatric Dental Associates, operates pediatric dental residency programs in conjunction with Temple University Hospital and Cooper University Hospital to train and educate providers beginning their careers as pedodontists.

Through a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on clinical experience, residents gain invaluable insights into the unique oral health needs of children and adolescents. They master intricate techniques for managing dental anxiety, promoting positive dental experiences, and delivering gentle, compassionate care tailored to the developmental stages of young patients. Residents work alongside renowned faculty mentors, participating in interdisciplinary collaborations and receiving personalized guidance to refine their clinical acumen and patient management abilities.

Chord Specialty Dental Partners also supports two dental assisting schools in Pennsylvania and Tennessee, training others to serve smiles. Learn more about our residency programs and explore our dental assisting schools below.
