Little Bird Pediatric Dentistry

Little Bird Pediatric Dentistry is a distinguished dental clinic located at 345 Steeles Ave E Suite 200, Milton, ON L9T 3G6, Canada. Founded by Dr. Alison Sigal, a highly accomplished pediatric dentist, the clinic offers a unique and comprehensive approach to children's oral health, with a particular focus on "airway-centric" care. Dr. Sigal's vision for Little Bird Pediatric Dentistry stems from a deep love for children, individuals with special needs, and a passion for research and global multi-disciplinary collaboration. She holds additional training in Comprehensive Airway Centric & Frenum assessment (tongue/lip tie), Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT), and Buteyko breathing. Her commitment to advancing pediatric dental care is evident in her development of a medical record software that houses one of the largest ongoing airway-centric patient databases globally, continuously integrating research for treatment evaluation and evolution. Dr. Michael Sigal, her father and also a certified Pediatric Dentist with 35 years of experience, particularly in caring for persons with special needs, has also joined the practice. The clinic's philosophy is centered on optimizing the growth, development, and function of all children from birth onwards, recognizing the significant impact of compromised breathing on children's health. They aim to provide a community-based, family-first center where care is personalized to each child's unique needs. Little Bird Pediatric Dentistry is designed to be fully accessible and baby-friendly, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for young patients and their families. Services offered likely include preventive dentistry (exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants), comprehensive assessments for issues like tongue and lip ties, orofacial myofunctional therapy, and addressing sleep-disordered breathing. The clinic emphasizes early intervention and education to prevent or minimize more complex treatments later in life. They are also known for their sensory-integrated clinical design, making visits more comfortable for children. Little Bird Pediatric Dentistry is dedicated to practicing and contributing to evidence-based healthcare, fostering continuous collaboration with multi-disciplinary healthcare providers to evolve their practices and best meet patient needs. Their commitment extends to education, with Dr. Sigal regularly presenting at conferences and hosting workshops. The clinic's name and logo are inspired by Dr. Sigal's experiences providing care in Northern communities, reflecting a compassionate and holistic approach to pediatric health.
