Dentistry Academic Programs

The McGill University Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences provides general practice residency programs at multiple hospital sites, including the Montreal Children’s Hospital.

The goal of this one year program is to give recent graduates a  multidisciplinary approach to the clinical practice of Dentistry in a pediatric setting. Our site offers training in pediatric dental care, with a focus on the medically compromised and special needs populations. Exposure to other specialties, including available at our division include Pediatric dentistryorthodontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics and periodontics, is also a major part of the training program.

The Pediatric Dental Care for Patients with Complex Needs Fellowship is designed to train qualified and competent pediatric dentists who want a  deep knowledge of special care and social pedodontics..

Fellows are exposed to the diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical execution of dental treatment of a large number of pediatric and adolescent patients who are medically compromised, affected by congenital and acquired craniofacial abnormalities, and/or  special health care needs.
