Montclair Pediatric Dental Care

Tyra Manso, DDS

Speciality: Pediatric Dentistry

With a focus on wellness and prevention, Dr. Tyra Manso and her team at Montclair Pediatric Dental Care strive to take the fear out of dental visits.

Building Relationships with Kids and Families

“We promote routine dental care starting at age one so we can work closely with families to learn how to prevent decay—and so they can establish their dental home,” says Dr. Manso, a board-certified pediatric dentist who founded the practice when her son was two years old.

Dr. Manso believes in taking an evidence-based approach and treating kids as individuals so they feel completely comfortable while in her care, whether it’s a routine cleaning or pain from a cavity. All patients receive a cavity risk assessment, oral hygiene instruction and diet counseling.

“My practice has grown right along with my son, and being a mom allows me to directly relate to my patients and their families—I know how to interact with kids and adapt my approach to each child’s needs, and nothing ruffles my feathers because I’ve seen it all,” she says.

Taking the Fear Out of Dental Visits

Dr. Manso utilizes state-of-the-art technology in her modern, family-friendly practice.

The office was designed to be light, airy and cheerful. “We have created a relaxing, calm atmosphere—not just for kids, but for their parents, too,” she says. “My focus is removing the stigma that going to the dentist is a scary experience, and our patients really seem to enjoy their time with us.”

Dr. Manso earned her DDS from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and completed her pediatric specialty at NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn. She serves on the board of trustees for Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Medical Center and is committed to serving her home community of Montclair; she regularly visits schools, contributes to fundraisers and participates in community events.
