Pediatric Dentistry of Brighton

Pediatric Dentistry of Brighton is a prominent dental clinic located at 8641 W Grand River Ave Suite #1, Brighton, MI 48116, specializing in pediatric dentistry. The clinic traces its roots back to 1991 when it was founded as "Pediatric Dental Associates" by Dr. Kevin Hale. Dr. Sarah A. Carrico, DMD, FAAPD, became a fellow of the practice and has been a central figure in its evolution. In 2009, Dr. Dana Radtke, another pediatric dentist, joined the team, leading to the practice being known as Carrico & Radtke Pediatric Dentistry before its current branding as Pediatric Dentistry of Brighton. The clinic is committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive oral health care tailored to the unique needs of children, from infants to adolescents, and also caters specifically to children with special physical or mental needs. Their approach is holistic, focusing on the overall well-being of the child, not just their teeth. Services offered include routine cleanings, preventive dental care (such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants), orthodontic interventions, special needs dentistry, and emergency dental care. They emphasize early dental care, recommending a child's first visit by their first birthday to establish good habits and detect potential issues early. Pediatric Dentistry of Brighton is known for its child-friendly environment, designed to make dental visits pleasant and stress-free. The office features bright, colorful, and comfortable spaces, incorporating children's artwork, music, and movies. The staff, including Dr. Carrico, are skilled in making children feel at ease through gentle care and easy-to-understand explanations. They also offer in-office IV sedation in partnership with Pediatric Dental Anesthesia Associates (PDAA) for anxious patients. The clinic actively supports its local community by sponsoring sports teams, events, and schools. Dr. Sarah A. Carrico is recognized for her expertise, including being listed as a "Top Dentist" by Hour Detroit Magazine and being a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (FAAPD).
