Dr. Mary Ritter is a compassionate Pediatric Dentist and Orthodontist, delivering healthy, happy smiles in Connecticut! Dr. Ritter earned her undergraduate degree in Biology from Mount Holyoke College before achieving her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where she graduated cum laude. Following, she completed a general practice residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. With a desire to help children, teens and adults achieve a healthy dental life, Dr. Ritter earned her respective certificates in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics both from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Dr. Ritter believes that making children feel comfortable at the dentist from an early age can make all the difference in their future dental health. She wholeheartedly cherishes the opportunity to meet her youngest patients and strives to create a positive experience from their very first visit.

Dr. Ritter finds it a privilege to monitor children’s growth and development, and if they need braces in the future, she is there to guide them through the process with ease. Her ultimate goal is to help patients achieve confident, happy smiles that will last a lifetime.

Dr. Ritter is committed to staying at the forefront of the latest advancements in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, understanding that patients rely on them for exceptional care.
