Board Certified Dentist, Jarod Johnson, DDS

Jarod Johnson, DDS, Board Certified,  American Board of Pediatric Dentistry

We are happy to announce that our own Dr. Jarod W. Johnson has become Board Certified. The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry is the only American Dental Association recognized certifying Board for the specialty of Pediatric Dentistry. The ABPD defines a diplomate as, “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.”

Board Certified Pediatric Dentists undergo a rigorous examination process, and spend numerous hours preparing through study and clinical practice. Dr. Jarod enjoyed reviewing the basics of pediatric dentistry as well as studying challenging cases.

Dr. Jarod’s goals after becoming a Diplomate include maintaining high standard of care through attending continuing education course, teaching in academia at The University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics, and authoring articles for publication through multiple outlets. He looks forward to sharing his knowledge and expertise with his patients at Arctic Dental.

Dr. Jarod has worked as a pediatric dentist for one year in Muscatine, IA, and is excited to serve the community for years to come. Dr. Jarod is a graduate of The University Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine and The University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the Iowa Dental Association.

Dr. Jarod would like to thank Dr. Ronald Lemon for inspiring the pursuit and study of endodontics when treating children. Dr. Arlene Joyner for providing the confidence and expertise to deliver essential oral health care to children in need.  Dr. William Dahlke for shaping the belief of compassionate clinical care.  Dr. Michael Saxe for providing expertise in practice management and oral sedation, and Dr. Michael Kanellis and the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics for the opportunity to become a pediatric dentist.
