What Kind of Advanced Dental Training Do You Have?
Following dental school, Dr. Nelson moved back to home to Texas to practice dentistry and obtained a wide range of clinical experiences, from reconstructing smiles with cosmetic veneers at his startup dental practice to re-establishing health by providing dental services to the underserved pediatric population. Upon realizing how much he loves working with children and playing an active role in compassionately and positively shaping their dental experiences, he decided to pursue a specialty in pediatric dentistry at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital after being in practice for nine years. While in pediatric dental residency, Dr. Nelson was selected by his attendings to be the Lead Resident and subsequently the Chief Resident. Dr. Nelson is board-certified and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
