Pediatric Dentistry Associates

Pediatric Dentistry Associates is a dedicated pediatric dental practice with locations in Madison and New Haven, Connecticut. The clinic specializes in providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care for infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special healthcare needs. The practice is led by board-certified pediatric dentists Dr. Amy O'Callaghan and Dr. Michael Pawlowski. The core philosophy of Pediatric Dentistry Associates is to make dental visits a comfortable, stress-free, and even enjoyable experience for children. They use simple, non-frightening language to explain procedures and create a welcoming, child-centered atmosphere. The clinic's services encompass a wide range of pediatric dental needs, including preventive care such as regular exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. They also offer restorative treatments like fillings, bonding, crowns, and extractions, as well as specialized services for dental emergencies and hospital dentistry. A key focus of the practice is patient comfort and health. They offer options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help alleviate anxiety and make procedures more manageable for young patients. The clinic also places a strong emphasis on parent education, providing guidance on proper oral hygiene habits for children from their first tooth onward. The team's commitment to creating a "dental home" ensures that each child receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs, with the ultimate goal of fostering a lifetime of healthy smiles.
