Voted Best Dentist for Kids–Stamford CT

Meet Dr. Keith Chiarello

Ivy League Training, Small-Town Warmth

Dr. Keith Chiarello brings an exceptional pediatric training background to Dental Care Kids — a path that took him from a small New Jersey town through Bowdoin College in Maine, to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, a General Practice Residency at Montefiore Medical Center, and finally a pediatric specialty residency at Nova Southeastern University. That breadth of training shows up in the calm, confident, kid-centered care he delivers every day.

Dr. Keith Chiarello, DMD

Approach to Care

Patients describe Dr. Chiarello as unhurried, thorough, and genuinely interested in the whole child. He takes time to explain what he’s doing and why — to both parent and patient — and he’s known for building lasting relationships with families that extend year after year. His bedside manner is especially valued by parents of anxious children who need a gentler introduction to dental care.

Commitment to Learning

Pediatric dentistry evolves quickly — new materials, techniques, sedation protocols, and behavior guidance research. Dr. Chiarello regularly participates in continuing education through the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and other specialty conferences. Patients benefit from care that reflects current best practice.
