Pediatric Dentist in Torrington CT Serving all of Litchfield County

Brooker Dental

Brooker Dental’s pediatric dentist practice was established in 1994 as a program of Brooker Memorial. The initial concept for the program and support for it came from The Dr. Isadore Temkin Family. Brooker Dental is the oldest and largest pediatric dentist practice in Litchfield County. We have 3 highly trained dentists who all specialize in Pediatric Dentistry and 4 dental hygienists who are great with children. Our practice has over 9,000 patient visits per year and takes HUSKY Dental Insurance, children with no insurance and submits to all private insurance companies. In addition, we also offer a scholarship program to qualifying families.

The long-term goal of the Pediatric Dental Center is to educate parents and children about good oral health and nutrition, and to instill life-long oral health habits. Good dental habits help to keep your child’s teeth and body healthy for their whole life. Our short-term goal is to introduce children to pediatric dentistry in a non-threatening way, to treat any dental issues they may have, and then to continue providing ongoing preventive pediatric dental care in partnership with each child and his/her parents.

Pediatric Dentistry

What is a Pediatric Dentist and why do I need one for my child?

A pediatric dentist acts as a “pediatrician” in charge of your child’s oral health. In addition to the normal 4 years of training for a general dentist, a pediatric dentist completes an additional 2-3 years of training to prepare them for the special needs of infants, children and adolescents. This additional training helps them to better understand early child dental problems such as pacifier use, baby bottle tooth decay, pre-mature tooth loss and routine care of an infant’s teeth.

The best in pediatric dentistry. My son was very apprehensive (he’s 2) and they were so patient and supportive of him and myself. I couldn’t be happier with our visits there!
It's always a pleasure to come to this clean and kind facility-- even my 9 year old looks forward to it as something fun to do!
Brooker always has the friendliest and the most attentive staff. Always look forward to bringing the kiddos there
The Staff there was so nice, & polite. I highly recommend you give this place to try for your children. My daughter would always have really bad anxiety at her last dentist place, so a friend of mine told me to try your place.

My 5 year old loves going to the dentist. He has always had a great experience with all of the staff! Sharon the hygienist we always have is 100$ made for working with children! She knows how to make it a fun experience and I thank her for that.

I moved from Winsted to Windsor Locks and I still take the almost hour drive for my 3 kids to come to the dentist. We love the staff there they are so amazing.

Friendly Staff… felt comfortable when entering amidst the pandemic. I was unsure how the hygienist was going to thoroughly do their job, but it was reassuring to see how good a job was done.
