What is a pediatric dentist?
Pediatric dentists are considered the pediatricians of dentistry. They specialize in dentistry that is devoted exclusively to children. This requires an additional two to three years of training beyond dental school. Specifically this training focuses on growth and development; child psychology; medical complications; treatment of children with special needs; trauma and orthodontics. These extra years of training prepare pediatric dentists to meet the unique needs of your child.

Dr. Pyle practiced general dentistry for four years in the U.S. Navy and four years as an associate in private practice in Lynchburg and Virginia Beach. In 2006, he returned to school and in 2008 earned his Orthodontic Specialty Certificate from The University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
What is an orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a specialist in dentistry who straightens teeth and aligns jaws and must complete two to three years of specialty training following dental school. Straight teeth help an individual to effectively bite, chew and speak and contribute to healthy teeth and gums. Properly aligned teeth and jaws may alleviate or prevent physical health problems. An attractive smile is a pleasant “side effect” of orthodontic treatment, from which people of almost any age can benefit.
