Montclair Pediatric Dental Care
MPDC is a prevention-focused dental office. All of our patients receive a cavity risk assessment, oral hygiene instruction, and an age appropriate prevention plan. We believe that all children are unique and require different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and preventing future dental problems.

Dr. Tyra J. Manso is a Board-Certified pediatric dentist and her practice philosophy is based on the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). Montclair Pediatric Dental Care is a family-friendly and modern dental office conveniently located in Montclair Center. The inspiration for our office is children's creativity and artistry, which can be seen in our decor.
Services
It's like walking into the office of relative, beautiful smiles, very pleasant, professional, and caring. My daughter is 6 yrs old, she loves going to this dentist and seeing the doc and the staff, not to mention the little toys the kids can have when they're done. I've been to another pediatric dentist with my son and this one is way better.
Thank you for considering MPDC for your family's Pediatric Dental Home. The first visit is designed to introduce your family to our practice and get a full medical, dental, and overall health history for your child. Dr. Manso will do a complete oral exam and x-rays if needed to provide you with a customized prevention plan and treatment approach.

Has very good Covid protocol in place that is easy to follow and the facility is very clean and the Coco Melon TV show in the room is very helpful for distraction. The dentist and the hygienist are so friendly, very patient and easy to talk to. Always love the goodie bag we walk out with, which is so helpful until our next visit. My daughter (almost 3) said she wants to return!

I could not be more satisfied with our first visit. The office staff is incredibly warm, helpful and accommodating. We felt welcomed and taken care of from the moment we entered the beautiful office. The hygienist and Dr. Manso were patient and expertly handled my energetic, curious child. Visiting the dentist had been a scary experience for my little one in the past, so I am thrilled we made this switch. He is excited to return!

Dr. Manso is phenomenal! The patient experience from beginning to end is always smooth, punctual, professional and friendly. We’ve been patients at her practice for almost 4 years and I can’t say enough great things. From the first point of contact, you’re met with a knowledgeable, pleasant and accommodating front desk staff! The dental hygienists are also wonderful. They are patient and have great bedside manner. The office is always immaculate. My kid is always excited to see Dr. Manso — she’s warm, has a calming disposition, and is thorough in her examinations. During the pandemic

The entire staff is warm & welcoming. The office is always clean and well kept. The kids rave about their visits for 6 months until they revisit for their next cleaning! Can't say enough about how much we love this practice.

Imagine a dentist office that you can walk into that feels as comfortable as walking into your own home. The entire environment is so friendly and relaxed. Dr. Manso and her staff are exceptional. The attitude and atmosphere are so bright; you can sense how big the smiles are from behind everyone’s masks. My daughter is six. She has not stopped… talking about Dr. Manso and everyone since coming home. She loved everything from getting her teeth cleaned, the individual attention and the best care. I am very grateful for Dr. Manso, Judy and the rest of the staff.

Wow. Dr. Manso and her team are absolutely incredible. My 5 yo autistic daughter was very nervous and everyone on staff was so loving and amazing with her! Melissa and Dr. Manso explained the tools in such a… way that she felt totally safe and was not scared. We just left with a new crown (her tooth diamond as she is calling it) and my daughter can not wait to come back! It means the world that she has a dentist she can trust (and loves!) and it’s the best setup for a life of good dental health. I can not recommend this office enough. Thank you!

We couldn't be happier with Montclair Pediatric Dental Care. The staff and office facility is top notch. My 4 year old was having a hard time with her appointment at the beginning. However, after she met the hygienist Melissa, her fears disappeared. She was so patient, informative and above all kind with my little girl, she even managed to make her giggle. By the time Dr. Manso came to check on her, she was all smiles! Thank you for the stellar service!

Our son was put at ease by the friendly staff. he wasn't rushed and his anxiety was minimal due to their attentiveness. He left saying he wants to go to the dentist everyday!

Dr. Manso is a great dentist and this is a great office!! The staff is incredibly friendly, the office is very nice, and they see you right away (rather than making you wait forever)! Dr. Manso has a great bedside manner and makes the kids feel comfortable. What more could you ask for?
