Dr. Sumner’s pediatric dental degree requires an additional two years of study following the completion of her four-year dental degree. This special training allows her to provide treatment for a wide variety of children’s dental problems. Dr. Sumner is also trained to treat special patients who may have emotional or physical handicaps. We believe the primary way to implement the latest technology is by placing a strong emphasis on continuing education.
