Is it possible for a kids dentist to do surgery or an operation to an adult patient?

Hi @redmercurygolden, thanks for your question.

A kids dentist, otherwise known as a paediatric dentist, is a dentist that specialises in treating children and teenagers usually under 18 years old. Paediatric dentist undergo additional specialist training on top of their general dentist training. As such, paediatric dentists usually only treat children and teenagers due to their expertise and interest in that area. 

Technically speaking, a paediatric dentist would be qualified to carry out dental procedures on an adult patient. However, with their specialisation in the dental needs of children, they are more likely to only focus on treating younger patients as compared to adults.

Hope this answers your question!
