Lil' Dente Pediatric Dentistry of Darien

Lil' Dente Pediatric Dentistry of Darien is a dental clinic founded by Dr. Naomi Sedani with the mission of providing a new and welcoming approach to Children's dental care. The practice is located at 330 Post Rd Suite 110, Darien, CT, and is dedicated to making every visit a positive experience for both children and their parents. The office is designed to be child-friendly, with a bright and cozy atmosphere that aims to reduce the anxiety often associated with dental visits. The team, affectionately known as the "smile team," focuses on building genuine connections with each child, getting to know their unique personality, interests, and fears. Dr. Naomi Sedani, a graduate of Wellesley College and the University of Pennsylvania's School of Dental Medicine, has extensive training and expertise in pediatric dentistry. Her passion for working with children was sparked during dental mission trips, and she completed her residency at NYU Langone Health. She established Lil' Dente in Darien because she values the community's family-oriented feel. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services, which are tailored to each child's individual needs rather than being a "one size fits all" approach. Services include: Preventative Dental Care: This encompasses routine exams, cleanings, and oral health counseling to teach children and parents about proper brushing, flossing, and nutrition. The clinic also offers protective dental sealants and custom-fitted mouthguards for young athletes. Restorative Dental Care: Lil' Dente provides personalized treatment plans for issues such as cavities, tooth chips, and trauma. They use white fillings and crowns to maintain a natural appearance and offer options like "laughing gas" (referred to as "cotton candy air") to ensure children's comfort during procedures. Limited Orthodontic Services: The practice addresses early issues in a child's oral development, such as crowding and improper bites, with in-office treatments like space maintainers and habit-breaking appliances to prevent more significant problems later on. Lil' Dente's philosophy is centered on prevention, education, and creating a supportive environment where children feel safe and excited to return. They are committed to treating children of all ages, from infants to teens, including those with special needs.
