Pediatric dentistry and orthodontics that kids actually look forward to, right on Lawrence Road.

About Us

A vibrant pediatric dental office with playful underwater murals. — Newton Sparta Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics
A vibrant pediatric dental office with playful underwater murals.

When a child breaks two front teeth on a weekend evening, the last thing a parent needs is a voicemail. At Newton Sparta Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Dr. Pete called one anxious mom back within 30 minutes, reviewed photos she sent from home, and had a plan in place before bedtime. That kind of responsiveness is not a fluke. It is the standard here at 11 Lawrence Road.

The office draws families from across Sussex County because the experience inside actually matches what parents hope for: hygienists who talk kids through every step, a front desk that treats scheduling like it matters, and dentists who make a nervous six-year-old feel like the most important patient in the building. With a 4.7-star rating across 177 reviews, the consistency speaks for itself.

Pediatric dental care is not just scaled-down adult dentistry. It requires patience, creativity, and a genuine affection for working with children. The team here has built a practice around that philosophy, offering everything from a child's first cleaning to full orthodontic treatment, all under one roof in Newton.

What We Offer

From a toddler's first visit to teen orthodontic treatment, the practice covers the full arc of a child's dental development. Preventive care, including cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, forms the backbone of every patient relationship, catching small problems before they become big ones.

When restorative work is needed, whether a cavity filling, a crown, or emergency repair after a sports injury, the clinical team moves quickly and communicates clearly with both child and parent. Orthodontic services include traditional braces and modern aligner options, with treatment plans tailored to each patient's growth stage.

The practice also provides after-hours support for dental emergencies, a detail that separates this office from many others in the region. No parent should have to wait until Monday morning with a child in pain.

"Dr. Pete is AMAZING! My daughter broke her 2 front teeth and when I called the after hours number, Dr. Pete called me back within 30 minutes! After sending him pictures of my daughter’s teeth he suggested I bring her in the office the following day (Sunday). He was so compassionate and explained everything he was doing to my daughter calming her nerves. Later on that night he reached out to check in on my daughter to see how she was feeling. He is such an amazing doctor and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. Thank you again Dr. Pete!! 🙂"

"I would not recommend this facility to anyone who is in need of any dental services or assistance. I scheduled an appointment on December 30th 2025 for January 6th 2026. Whichever secretary that had made that appointment took all the information for the patient, insurance, etc and everything was all setup and ready for the 6th. So fast forward to the day, we arrive early and come to find out that apparently there is no appointment in their database? No appointment, none of the patients information, no record in their system, nothing after a nearly 10 min phone call that confirmed the date and the time and all info. I guess this place picks and chooses who they want to give appointments to and who they don’t; which means basically if you have an appointment they’ll cancel yours if they need to fill the spot with someone who they feel is more needing of that appointment. Do not recommend and I will use a dentist who cares and values all of their patients and time."

"Took my son here while we were in the area and he loved everything about this office . The hygienists the dentist down to secretary were amazing in this office . If you have a child and need the dentist this is the office for you ! My son is 7 and he had to have work done that required 2 different sessions and this team is absolutely amazing ! I don’t think my child even flinched during either session . I was amazed by how this professional team worked . So glad I decided to have my son’s dentistry work done here !"

"Dr. Mike and his staff are wonderful, patient, kind, they explain everything step by step and understand a visit can bring many challenges and feelings. Dr. Mike was very honest with my daughter and met her where she was at with her anxiety and tinnitus. This practice is honest and not a fill and drill office. I am so glad we called and had a consultation. The ladies at the front are welcoming, and helpful with any questions and concerns and booking appointments. Dental care is so important and knowing your child is in the best hands is so important. Thank you all for a wonderful experience."

"I haven't been taking my daughter here long, but I want to review based on an emergency situation we had on Saturday. We noticed an abscess on my daughter's front crown Saturday, at like noon (the office closes at 12). I quickly called, and they asked me if i could send a picture right away, and were even going to squeeze us in right away had we not been out of town. Dr. Pete reviewed the picture, called us back within 30 minutes, and immediately sent an antibiotic and a recommendation. I was so comforted by their response and care in the matter. Today is Monday, and I called for a follow-up, and they are getting me right in. I am so happy we chose to bring our little one to this practice. Thank you all for looking out for my peanut!"

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child have their first dental visit?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help identify development issues and get kids comfortable with the dental environment before any problems arise.

Do you handle dental emergencies after regular office hours?

Yes. The practice maintains an after-hours emergency line for situations like broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or severe pain. Based on patient experience, a doctor typically calls back within 30 minutes and can advise on next steps or arrange same-day care.

Does the office provide orthodontic treatment, or just pediatric dental care?

Both. Newton Sparta Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics offers comprehensive orthodontic services, including braces and aligner options, alongside full pediatric dental care. Families can manage their child's entire oral health journey at one location on Lawrence Road in Newton.

How do I prepare my child for their first visit?

Keep the conversation positive and simple. Let your child know they will meet a friendly dentist who will count and clean their teeth. The office team is experienced at easing first-visit nerves, so there is no need to over-explain. Arriving a few minutes early to explore the waiting area helps too.

What insurance plans do you accept?

For the most current information on accepted insurance plans and payment options, contact the office directly through the website at drmikedmd.com. The administrative team can confirm coverage and help you understand your benefits before your child's appointment.

How often should my child come in for checkups?

Most children benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months. However, the dentist may recommend more frequent visits depending on cavity risk, orthodontic treatment status, or other individual factors identified during the initial exam.

Can I stay with my child during their appointment?

Yes, parents are welcome in the treatment area, especially for young or anxious children. The team will let you know what role is most helpful during the visit. For older children, the staff is skilled at building independent rapport, but parental presence is always an option.
