The curriculum is designed to provide didactic and clinical instruction for the resident and an opportunity to develop proficiency with both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through early adolescence, including those with special healthcare needs.

Applications for the Pediatric Dentistry residency program must be submitted through the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) PASS program (Postdoctoral Application Support Service). ADEA PASS simplifies the application process by allowing you to complete one standardized application, rather than individual applications to each program. There is a fee for this service. The application deadline is every year on September 15.

The pediatric hospital-based dental clinic was built in 2016 and features four fully equipped dental operatories outfitted with top-of-the-line A-dec equipment. Each operatory is complete with:

• Air/water syringes
• High and low-speed suction
• Low-speed handpiece and high-speed fiber optic handpiece
• Nitrous oxide delivery systems
• Cabinetry for storage of instruments and materials needed for each procedure
• Computers for charting, procedure notes and digital imaging

Instrument processing and sterilization occurs in the hospital central processing unit.

Intraoral, panoramic and cephalometric imaging utilizes digital radiography and portable hand-held dental imaging units. The fully equipped dental lab allows for onsite fabrication of dental models and appliances.

Additionally, within this area is a resident/attending dentist office with fully functional work stations that can be used for treatment planning, case review and education. The residency program also has regularly scheduled block time in the Children’s Procedure Center, located on the first floor of the hospital. This Center has two rooms that are fully equipped for dental procedures utilizing general anesthesia.

The reception area houses desks for four staff members, including receptionists, schedulers, and authorization staff. The waiting room has seating for ten and a staff lounge (including offices for the program director and manager) is also included.

The patient population of the hospital-based dental clinic consists of infants, children, and adolescents from the community, those with special healthcare needs, and patients who are medically compromised and require multidisciplinary treatment.

Externships are observation only and limited to current dental students enrolled in at least the third year and currently in good standing. Space is very limited and is filled on a competitive basis. For more information, contact the program manager.

As a resident, you’ll earn competitive pay and PTO that can be used for any purpose, including vacations, sick days, and personal days.

Our insurance benefit package includes health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, vision insurance, a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), a Health Care Health Savings Account (HSA), life insurance, short-term disability insurance, long-term disability, and adoption benefits.

Employees are eligible (and encouraged) to participate in our 401k plan with matching contributions from Intermountain and a wide range of investment offerings.
