Why Little Teeth of Stratford Is Changing the Way Parents Think About Pediatric Dentistry
At Little Teeth of Stratford, we do pediatric dentistry differently. Gone are the days of white walls, scary tools, and rushed appointments. We’ve built a space — and an experience — designed just for kids, backed by the latest technology and led by a board-certified pediatric dentist who’s also a mom.
Because your child’s first dental experiences shape how they view oral health for life. We don’t take that lightly — we make it awesome.
What Makes Us Different?
Pediatric-Only Focus
We’re not a general dental office that also sees children. Our practice is dedicated 100% to pediatric dentistry — from infants and toddlers to teens and children with special needs.
Ocean-Themed Office and Gentle Language
We use calming language and an environment designed to put kids at ease. You’ll hear “sleepy juice” instead of anesthesia, and “sugar bugs” instead of cavities. Everything — from the design to the words we use — is created to make your child feel safe and relaxed.
CO₂ Laser Tongue and Lip Tie Treatment
We’re one of the only pediatric offices in Stratford offering gentle laser frenectomies for infants, toddlers, and older children. Using the LightScalpel CO₂ laser, we treat tongue and lip ties with minimal discomfort, no stitches, and quick recovery.
Modern Technology That Helps Kids (and Parents)
Digital X-rays, paperless forms, text reminders, and a clean, kid-friendly environment are just the start. We use modern tools to make your visit smoother — and your child’s care better.
Positive Behavior Guidance
We take time to build trust and guide children through appointments using evidence-based techniques. Our focus is on comfort, communication, and confidence — not restraints or fear-based methods.
