From the first tooth
The first visit belongs at age one. Two board-certified pediatric dentists take it here, in the same building the rest of the family already comes to.
The sooner children begin getting regular checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their entire lives.
Why it starts so early
Tooth decay can lead to pain, and to concerns that look nothing like a dental problem: trouble concentrating, and other medical issues besides.
The problem: a child meets a dentist for the first time when something already hurts.
Children with healthy teeth chew food easily, learn to speak clearly and smile with confidence. That starts with visits where nothing is wrong.
The problem: paediatric dentistry treated as general dentistry on smaller teeth.
Dr. Rachel Rhee and Dr. Hung Quach are both board-certified pediatric dentists, trained in treating dental anxiety, medical complexity and developmental differences.
The problem: at thirteen, a child is handed on to a practice that has never met them.
Continuing into adulthood with our experienced specialists and professionals, we offer true lifetime dental care from the day the first tooth erupts.
We are confident our unique environment will make you and your children feel you have found a dental home for life.
Both board certified, both trained in hospital residencies, and both here because of the way a first visit can shape every one that follows.
Brown, then Penn with honours in care of the medically complex. Chief resident twice over, at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell and at Montefiore. She decided at the age of seven that she wanted to be a dentist, and tailors each visit to the child and the family in front of her.
Binghamton summa cum laude, then Columbia, then a pediatric residency at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. His own childhood dental anxiety is why he does this, and why he builds every appointment on trust and open communication with the parents as much as the child.
Pediatric care has its own practice, its own team and its own site at pediatricdentistryofwestport.com, in this same building on Riverside Avenue.
