Worth the Drive for Pediatric Dental Visits That Feel More Thought Through
Not every dentist who sees children is a pediatric dentist.
That distinction matters more when the visit is not routine.
Maybe your child has already had a rough appointment somewhere else. Maybe they’re very young and this is their first visit. Maybe there’s swelling, a broken tooth, or a child who does not do well with unfamiliar environments.
Pediatric dentistry training is built around those moments.
Dr. Bret Lesavoy completed pediatric specialty training at Columbia University Irving Medical Center / NewYork-Presbyterian Children’s Hospital and is board-certified through the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
That’s part of why families travel from Easton for appointments here.
The office was built for children, not adapted for them after the fact.
That changes the feel of a visit pretty quickly.
Parents will see:
- ✔ A play area instead of a stiff, silent waiting room
- ✔ TVs overhead during treatment
- ✔ A comfort menu that gives kids small choices
- ✔ Parent-friendly communication, without vague explanations
- ✔ Space in the schedule for urgent dental visits
- ✔ Treatment options for children who need extra support
Why Easton Families Drive to See Dr. Lesavoy
The drive from Easton to our Allentown office usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Families make the trip for different reasons, but many are looking for a pediatric dental office where appointments feel a little less stressful for both kids and parents.
Here's what you'll find when you get here:
- • Board-certified pediatric dentist. Dr. Lesavoy completed his pediatric dentistry residency at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
- • An office built with children in mind. The playroom, coloring bar, ceiling TVs, prize towers, and comfort menu are all there for a reason. They help children settle in before and during their visit.
- • Deep Lehigh Valley roots. Dr. Lesavoy grew up here, and his family has worked in healthcare throughout the region for more than 50 years. Caring for local families is personal because this has always been home.
- • Parents are always welcome. You're invited into the exam room, where we'll explain what we're seeing, answer questions, and talk through treatment together.
- • Same-day emergency appointments when possible. Dental injuries don't usually happen at convenient times. If your child has a dental emergency, we'll do our best to see them as soon as our schedule allows.

What a First Visit Usually Looks Like
The first appointment is rarely just about teeth.
For younger kids, it often starts with getting comfortable in the space. Looking around. Deciding whether the treasure tower matters more than the chair. Asking questions. Refusing to open at first. Pretty normal.
The team works with that.
Some visits move quickly. Some take longer.
If your child is old enough for x-rays, those may happen. A cleaning may happen. Dr. Lesavoy will check development, look for early concerns, talk through what he sees, and explain anything that needs attention in plain language.
No rushed “we’ll explain later” conversations while someone is halfway to the front desk.
Parents stay informed.
Pediatric Dental Services for Easton Families
Our Allentown office provides pediatric dental services from infancy through the teen years, so there's no need to visit multiple offices as your child grows.
Cleanings and Preventive Exams
Regular checkups help us catch small problems before they become more difficult to treat. Most children visit every six months. During each appointment, we'll clean the teeth, look for cavities, check how the teeth and jaws are developing, and recommend fluoride when it's appropriate. We also spend time talking with parents about what to expect before the next visit.
Tongue Tie and Lip Tie Treatment
Tongue ties and lip ties can make feeding difficult for infants and may affect speech or oral function as children grow. Dr. Lesavoy evaluates each child before recommending treatment. If a frenectomy is the right option, we'll explain the procedure, recovery, and what you can expect afterward.
Sedation Dentistry
Some children need extra support during dental treatment. That might be because they're very young, especially anxious, or having a longer procedure. We'll review the available sedation options, explain why one may be recommended, and answer your questions before treatment begins.
Emergency Dental Care
A chipped tooth at recess, a fall from a bike, or a toothache that starts late in the evening can all turn into a stressful day. Call us as soon as you can. If our schedule allows, we'll do our best to see your child the same day and let you know what to do before you arrive.
Care for Children with Special Needs
Some children benefit from a quieter pace, extra time, or a different approach to communication. If your child has autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, sensory sensitivities, or another medical or developmental condition, let us know before the appointment. We'll talk with you about what works best for your child and adjust the visit whenever we can.
Infant and Toddler Dentistry
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. These early visits are usually short and focused on prevention. We'll check your child's oral development, talk about teething, feeding, brushing, and answer the questions that tend to come up during those first few years.
Why Families Travel from Easton to See Dr. Lesavoy
Specialty training is part of it. Office environment is part of it.cCommunication matters too. Parents generally do not want a confusing explanation followed by a treatment estimate they barely had time to process.
Dr. Lesavoy tends to walk families through what he sees, why treatment may be recommended, what alternatives exist, and what timing actually matters. Not every issue needs immediate treatment. Not every concern becomes a major procedure. Clear information helps families make decisions without feeling cornered.

Yes. We welcome new patients from Easton, Palmer Township, Wilson, Nazareth, and nearby communities. You can call our office at (610) 727-1818 or request an appointment online.
What age should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. These early appointments are usually simple. We'll check how the teeth are developing, answer your questions, and talk about brushing, feeding, and teething.
Does the office accept our dental insurance?
We work with most major dental insurance plans. Before your appointment, we'll review your benefits and explain any estimated out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have insurance, ask us about the payment and financing options that may be available.
How is a pediatric dentist different from a family dentist?
After dental school, pediatric dentists complete an additional two to three years of training focused on treating infants, children, teenagers, and patients with special healthcare needs. Dr. Lesavoy is also board certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, a voluntary credential that requires additional testing and ongoing certification.
My child gets nervous about dental visits. Can you help?
Many children need a little extra time before they're comfortable in a new environment. We don't expect every child to walk in smiling. The playroom, coloring bar, ceiling TVs, comfort menu, and prize tower help make the office feel more familiar, and Dr. Lesavoy takes time to explain things in a way children can understand. If a child needs more support during treatment, we'll also discuss whether sedation is an appropriate option.
Do you offer emergency dental care for kids near Easton?
Yes. If your child has a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, swelling, or significant dental pain, call us at (610) 727-1818 as soon as you can.
