Dedicated Pediatric Dentist for Bright, Healthy Smiles
Welcome to Lesavoy Pediatric Dentistry, where we’re dedicated to serving Bethlehem and the surrounding Lehigh Valley with gentle, kid-friendly dental care. Our practice combines modern techniques with a child-friendly approach to create a stress-free experience for every patient.
From routine checkups to specialized treatments, we strive to make each appointment enjoyable and informative. Our team is here to guide your child on their journey to lifelong dental health, ensuring every visit is tailored to their individual needs.
Why Bethlehem Families Make the Drive to See Dr. Lesavoy
The drive from Bethlehem to our Allentown office usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on where you're starting. For many local families, that extra time on the road comes down to finding a pediatric dental office that feels like it was built for kids instead of simply adapted for them.
A few things you'll notice here:
- • Board-certified pediatric dentist. Dr. Lesavoy completed advanced pediatric dentistry training and is board certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
- • An office that actually looks and feels like it's for children. Ceiling TVs help keep little ones occupied during treatment. The coloring bar gives kids something to do while they wait. At the end of the visit, there's a prize tower and a comfort menu. None of those things replace good dentistry, but they can make the appointment feel a little less intimidating.
- • Longtime Lehigh Valley connections. Dr. Lesavoy is a fourth-generation Allentonian, and his family has been part of the Bethlehem and Lehigh Valley community for generations.
- • Parents stay involved. You're welcome in the exam room during your child's visit. We explain what we're seeing, answer questions as they come up, and talk through treatment recommendations together.
- • Same-day emergency visits when possible. A chipped tooth during recess or a toothache that starts after dinner usually can't wait until next week. When our schedule allows, we'll do our best to see your child the same day.

Meet Your Pediatric Dentist Serving Bethlehem, PA and the Greater Lehigh Valley
Dr. Bret Lesavoy
Dr. Bret Lesavoy is a 4th-generation “Allentonian” who is thrilled to be back in the Lehigh Valley! Bret’s Lehigh Valley roots run deep. His grandfather, Dr. Stanley Stein, was Chief of Pediatrics at St. Luke’s Hospital for 32 years and practiced in the Allentown and Bethlehem areas for 56 years. As one of his biggest influences, Bret knew he wanted to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps into pediatrics—specifically focusing on giving kids the gift of a healthy smile.
Education and Professional Background
Dr. Bret Lesavoy’s education and training are rooted in excellence. After graduating from Parkland High School, he earned his B.S. in Biology from Duke University and his D.M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He completed his Pediatric Dental Residency at Columbia University Irving Medical Center – New York Presbyterian Children’s Hospital. Dr. Lesavoy is also a Board-Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Pediatric Dental Services for Bethlehem Families
Families from Bethlehem come to our Allentown office for everything from routine checkups to more involved treatment. Because we're a pediatric dental practice, your child can receive care from infancy through the teen years without traveling far.
Cleanings and Preventive Exams
Regular cleanings and exams give us a chance to spot small issues before they become bigger ones. We usually recommend visits every six months, starting around your child's first birthday. During the appointment, we'll look for cavities, check how the teeth and jaws are developing, discuss home brushing habits, and apply fluoride when it's appropriate.
Tongue Tie and Lip Tie Treatment
A tongue tie or lip tie can make feeding difficult for infants and may affect speech or oral function as children grow. Dr. Lesavoy evaluates each child individually before recommending treatment. If a frenectomy is needed, we'll explain what the procedure involves, what recovery typically looks like, and answer your questions before moving forward.
Sedation Dentistry for Children
Some children need extra help getting through dental treatment, especially if they're very young, highly anxious, or having a longer procedure. We'll review the available sedation options with you, explain why one may be recommended, and make sure you know what to expect before, during, and after the visit.
Dental Emergencies
Dental injuries rarely happen at a convenient time. A child might chip a tooth on the playground, wake up with a toothache, or take an unexpected fall during a game. If your child has a dental emergency, call our office. When our schedule allows, we'll do our best to offer a same-day appointment.
Care for Children with Special Needs
Every child walks into the office with different needs, and some appointments take a little more time than others. If your child has sensory sensitivities, developmental differences, or a complex medical history, we'll talk with you before the visit so we can adjust our approach, our pace, and how we communicate throughout the appointment.
Infant Dentistry and Baby's First Visit
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling a child's first dental visit by age one. Those early appointments are usually simple. We check how the teeth are coming in, talk about teething, feeding habits, and home care, and give parents plenty of time to ask questions before little ones are ready to head home.
Why Choose Us
At Lesavoy Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to serve our Bethlehem families in our Allentown office with a commitment to personalized, high-quality care. We focus on creating a warm, welcoming environment where both children and parents feel supported at every step. Our collaborative approach ensures that parents are always involved in their child’s dental care, fostering trust and open communication.
Convenient for Bethlehem Families
Our office is located at 1150 Glenlivet Drive, Unit C40, Allentown, PA 18106. From most parts of Bethlehem, the drive takes about 15 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic and where you're coming from.
We regularly welcome families from Bethlehem, South Bethlehem, Fountain Hill, Hellertown, and nearby communities. Getting here is straightforward, with convenient access from Route 78 and Route 309, plus on-site parking when you arrive.
Getting out the door with kids isn't always easy. School schedules, snacks, forgotten shoes, someone needing one more trip to the bathroom, it all adds a few extra minutes. We can't help with that part, but we work hard to keep appointments running on time and make each visit one that's worth the drive.
Questions Bethlehem Parents Ask
My child is terrified of the dentist. Can you help?
Many parents tell us this before the first visit. We take our time getting to know each child instead of rushing into treatment. Around the office, you'll find a play area, ceiling TVs, a coloring bar, prize towers, and a comfort menu that lets kids tell us what helps them feel more comfortable. Dr. Lesavoy moves at your child's pace, explaining things along the way and stopping when a child needs a break.
Do you treat babies and toddlers?
Yes. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. These early appointments are usually simple. We'll check your child's oral development, answer questions about teething, feeding, and brushing, and help you know what to expect over the next few months.
Does my child need a referral to see a pediatric dentist?
No. You can schedule an appointment directly with our office. Before your visit, we'll verify your insurance benefits and let you know if there's anything you should bring with you.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
Call us at (610) 727-1818 as soon as you can. If our schedule allows, we'll do our best to see your child the same day. If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist by placing it in milk or between the cheek and gum, then contact our office right away. Acting quickly gives the tooth the best chance of being saved.
Do you see children with autism or sensory processing differences?
Yes. We welcome children with autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and other developmental or medical needs. If there's anything you'd like us to know before the appointment, tell us when you schedule. A few extra details ahead of time can help us adjust the visit, whether that means allowing more time, changing how we communicate, or making other accommodations when appropriate.
