dr-hicksWake Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry would like you to join us in congratulating Dr. Travis Hicks on passing the ABPD board exams.

What is a Diplomate of the ABPD?

A Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry is a pediatric dentist whose credentials have been verified, who has successfully completed voluntary examinations, and who demonstrates specialized knowledge and skill. A Diplomate is dedicated to providing exceptional patient care through a voluntary commitment to lifelong learning. The ABPD is the only certifying board in the specialty of pediatric dentistry recognized by the American Dental Association and sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

Benefits to Becoming a Diplomate of the ABPD

There are many benefits to becoming a diplomate of the ABPD. Most importantly, providing high quality oral healthcare to all children and maximizing patient outcomes through continuous participation in the certification process. Passing the ABPD board exams shows a commitment to lifelong learning. It also,

  • Leads to high-quality oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs.
  • Provides assurance to the public that a board certified pediatric dentist has successfully completed accredited specialty training.

About Dr. Travis Hicks

As a pediatric dentist, I have the opportunity to make an early impact on a child’s perception of the dentist and oral health. I am passionate about giving children a dental home, a place where they and their parents can trust in the quality of care they receive. I am excited every time I see a child for their first dental visit. It is an opportunity to develop a bond with that patient and their family that will hopefully last for many years to come. As one of the newest dentists in the practice, I look forward to working with not only a great group of pediatric dentists and orthodontists, but also an amazing staff in a thriving community like Raleigh.

Congratulations Dr. Hicks! Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry is proud of your latest accomplishment!
