New Canaan Pediatric Dentistry

New Canaan Pediatric Dentistry is a dental practice in New Canaan, Connecticut, dedicated to providing comprehensive oral healthcare for infants, children, and adolescents. The clinic is located at 65 Locust Ave #10, New Canaan, CT 06840. The practice's philosophy centers on making a child's visit to the dentist a positive and enjoyable experience, recognizing that children are not born with a fear of the dentist but may fear the unknown. To address this, the staff makes a special effort to use simple and pleasant language to describe treatments, ensuring both the child and their family feel at ease from the moment they arrive. The services offered are tailored to the unique needs of developing smiles. These include comprehensive oral evaluations, regular cleanings, and digital radiographs to prevent and diagnose issues like cavities and other dental problems. The clinic also provides preventative treatments such as fluoride applications and dental sealants, which are effective in protecting teeth from decay. The practice emphasizes the importance of early dental care, recommending a child's first visit by their first birthday to establish proper oral hygiene habits and ensure newly erupted teeth receive the care they need. They also provide guidance on topics like teething, adopting healthy brushing habits, and the importance of caring for primary (baby) teeth, which are crucial for speech development and maintaining space for permanent teeth. The clinic is home to Dr. Anna Simonis, a pediatric dentist who serves the New Canaan community. The practice's focus on a welcoming, child-friendly environment and preventative care aims to set children on a path to a lifetime of healthy smiles.
