Board Certified General Dentist (DDS)

Only 1 percent of General Dentists are Board Certified. In the entire state of Kansas, there are only 6 General Dentists who are Board Certified (July 2016). Most (if not all of them) are either in, or were in the military. The military definitely understands these two things:
1) The vital importance of dental health to a person’s entire health and well-being.
2) Constant learning/training is vital to performing at one’s peak.

What is involved in becoming Board Certified? Well, let’s put it this way: if the process to become Board Certified was quick and easy, more dentists would be Board Certified! To learn more about what it means to be a Board Certified Dentist, you can visit the web site of the American Board of General Dentistry.

But wait, there’s more! Out of those 6 Kansas General Dentists who are Board Certified, there are only 2 who have also attained Mastership Status, Academy of General Dentists (July 2016). And yes, Dr. Jack is 1 of those 2. Read more about what it takes to attain Mastership Status (MAGD).

The photo at right could have been a photo of Dr. Jack’s MAGD accreditation. It’s not. Why is that? It is because you get to a point where what matters as much as training is the “philosophy” of care that a Dentist employs. Dr. Jack Stewart’s vision is based in the Golden Rule: he treats his patients the way he would want to be treated, or the way he would want his children treated. He will not perform a procedure on a patient that he would not undergo himself.
