Montshire Pediatric Dentistry

Montshire Pediatric dentistry is a multi-location dental practice founded in 2018 by pediatric dentists Dr. Jonny Norris and Dr. Colin Boswell. The name "Montshire" is a fusion of Vermont and New Hampshire, celebrating the practice's origins in those states. The clinic's philosophy is centered on a compassionate, patient-centered approach to children's dental care, emphasizing minimally invasive dentistry, early detection, and prevention of tooth decay. The practice's mission is to move away from the traditional "drill and fill" model of dentistry and instead focus on a therapeutic and preventative approach. This includes utilizing advanced techniques and materials to treat and reverse tooth decay in its earliest stages, such as with Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) treatments, which painlessly kill decay-causing bacteria. The team at Montshire Pediatric Dentistry believes in preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible, which leads to less pain, less stress, and more affordable care for families. Montshire Pediatric Dentistry serves a wide range of patients, from infants with their first tooth to adolescents and children with special needs. They are committed to making dental care accessible to all, proudly accepting Medicaid and offering membership plans for families without insurance. The clinic's environment is intentionally designed to be calming and low-stress, with soothing colors and soft toys, to help children feel comfortable and to prevent dental anxiety. Parents are encouraged to be present with their children during appointments, fostering a partnership between the family and the dental team. Services offered include preventative care like cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, as well as restorative dentistry and emergency dental care. The practice has multiple locations across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
