What pediatric dentists make
Typical
$227,690
Starting associate
$107,330
Where the survey stops counting
$239,200
There is no separate federal wage line for pediatric dentists. They sit inside a group called Dentists, All Other Specialists, where the median was $227,690 a year, and the most recent figure for the same group is about $224,990. The top tenth is not published at all: the survey stops reporting once a wage is at or above $239,200, so real top earners are above the high number shown here.
