Voted Best Dentist for Kids–Stamford CT
Affordable Pediatric Dental Care, With Payment Options That Work for Your Family
At Dental Care Kids, we believe that high-quality dental care for your child shouldn’t be out of reach for financial reasons. We work with most PPO dental insurance plans, accept Husky (Connecticut State Insurance for children up to age 20), and offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry — so families across Fairfield County can say yes to the care their kids need.

Dental Insurance
PPO Insurance (Out-of-Network)
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and file claims on your behalf so you don’t have to. Because we’re out-of-network, you may have a slightly higher out-of-pocket share than with an in-network provider — but many of our families find that the specialized pediatric care, board-certified doctors, and family-friendly scheduling easily justify the difference.
Before your first visit, we’ll:
- Verify your benefits and coverage
- Provide a clear cost estimate for any recommended treatment
- File claims directly with your insurance company
- Answer any questions about your policy
Husky / CT State Insurance
We accept Husky (Connecticut State Insurance) for children up to age 20. Children with Husky receive the same high-quality pediatric dental care as any other patient — there is no tiered treatment based on insurance type.
Not Sure What Your Plan Covers?
Call us at (203) 324-6171 and we’ll check your benefits. Most plans cover:
of preventive care (cleanings, exams, fluoride, sealants)
of basic restorative care (fillings, simple extractions)
of major procedures (crowns, pulpotomies, oral surgery)
Orthodontic benefits — if your policy includes them, we’ll check and coordinate with Dental Care Orthodontics next door
Plans vary. We’ll get you specifics based on your policy before any work begins.
