My team and I work hard to help anxious and nervous kids work through worries and become confident and excited to take care of their smile. We educate children and parents about oral health, nutrition, and making good decisions, so they develop a lifetime of healthy dental habits!

I grew up in Iran and moved to the United States to pursue my education. I attended Bucknell University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in chemistry. My Doctorate of Dental Medicine was awarded by the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. I completed a one-year general practice residency at Waterbury Hospital.

Knowing that working with children was my calling, I pursued a two-year pediatric dental residency at the University of Connecticut Health Center. This was followed by a one-year fellowship in pediatric dentistry at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Dental school, and my pediatric dentistry residency and fellowship, were challenging and wonderful. The education and training ensured I was grounded in the best practices for addressing the unique needs of a growing child, including children with specialized and complex medical, physical, mental, and emotional needs.

Since dentistry and the pediatric dental specialty are constantly changing, through regular continuing education I stay informed of new research, the latest materials and technologies, and emerging trends in childrens oral healthcare.

Currently, I serve on the medical staff at Connecticut Childrens Medical Center in Hartford and volunteer with Connecticut Mission of Mercy. I am a board-certified pediatric dentist: a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. I am also a member of the:

Through these organizations, I have access to a range of opportunities to expand my skills and knowledge. Participating in seminars, lectures, and meetings, as well as reading the latest journals, keeps me abreast of the newest information. By carefully evaluating new developments, I am able to incorporate the best into the practice and our patients care.

I have a wonderful team! Everyone is well-trained in their field and constantly seeks ways to better our services and the care we provide. My team members are all kind, compassionate, and friendly. They are personable and empathetic, always accommodating to each child and family, and approach every patient with patience and warmth. We all do our best to provide a great experience for each child who comes to our office. We want them to feel safe, loved, and at home with us!

I enjoy educating patients and parents on oral hygiene and seeing kids develop an interest in caring for their smiles! As a hygienist with an associates degree in dental hygiene, I provide preventive oral healthcare, oral cancer screenings, and dental cleanings. I also take X-rays, offer nutritional and dental hygiene education, and encourage boys and girls as they learn how to keep their smile clean and healthy.

This is an amazing office, with patient-centered goals, a collaborative team effort, and a high emphasis on safety. Our patients and families feel at home, knowing Dr. Azadpur and our team truly care about them personally.

I love working with the kids and making them feel comfortable in our office. It is rewarding to see their smiling faces and to listen to the cute and funny things they say! I assist Dr. Azadpur with various procedures and am always attentive to our young patients comfort. In addition to holding my certified dental assistant license, I am X-ray, CPR, and first aid certified, trained as an OR assistant, and participate in continuing education.

I love how Dr. Azadpur is great with kids: I call her the tooth whisperer. She cares so much about each child and the family, and does her best by everyone. That dedication is shared by my teammates, which makes for a happy, supportive atmosphere for our team and families!

I love keeping busy and moving throughout the day, interacting with the kids, and seeing growing smiles! I am certified in sterilization and handle cleaning, sanitizing, and sterilizing our treatment areas, operatories, and instruments.

Since joining Dr. Azadpurs team in 2007, I have managed oversight of the day-to-day operations so it all runs smoothly and efficiently. Though my days are spent on a variety of tasks, the most important part is giving our adorable little patients a wonderful and happy dental experience.

Dr. Azadpur inspires all of us to be ourbest selves. Her leadership is inspiring, her work ethics are impeccable, her compassion immeasurable, and her community service endless. I love the office culture and enjoy working with everyone. We have a stellar team!

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have a wonderful husband, two grown daughters, three loving, beautiful, and bright grandchildren, and two adorable fur baby terriers, Norma Jean and Abby. In the summers, I head every week to Newport, Rhode Island, where I have enjoyed my sailing membership for more than a decade!

I love connecting with patients and their families, and enjoy supporting our community, too! As our marketing director, I handle outreach to existing and new patients and families, as well as patient acquisition and retention. I also maintain our social media presence, network with medical providers, and provide front desk support. What a change from a long career as a teacher!

Dr. Azadpur is an amazing dentist who really cares about children, and that is true of our team, too. It feels good to represent our services to the community, knowing we provide high-quality, child- and family-friendly care!

I keep busy when Im not at work: enjoying time with my husband of over 30 years, three children (as well as a son-in-law), and our cats. I sing in an a cappella chorus and have competed at the international level several times in recent years. And for more than 15 years I have been involved with Simsbury Summer Theater. Its rewarding to work with high school and college-aged kids for six to seven weeks every summer, to present a full-length musical.

Having been part of this practice for more than 20 years has allowed me to watch children come to the office at a very young age and grow into young adults. I truly love watching them grow and getting to know their families! I work with families on insurance matters, including reviewing their coverage and making sure they are able to maximize benefits. I work with the local hospital booking OR cases and assist parents with any questions or concerns about an OR visit for their child.

I have truly enjoyed every minute of working with Dr. Azadpur. She is a fantastic dentist, a wonderful boss, and very caring toward everyone she meets. My children are patients here and have always had positive experiences with the hygienists, our dental assistant, and Dr. Azadpur. Everyone is friendly, kind-hearted, silly, and is always ready with a smile and supportive words!

I live in Burlington with my husband, our kids, and our Goldendoodle, Nora. Much of my free time is spent at the soccer or football fields, cheering on my kids. When Im not at the fields, I love time with my big extended family. We love to vacation at Cape Cod and Walt Disney World, and also love relaxing by our pool. I also find time to garden, bake and cook, and watch movies.

I love seeing and chatting with the kids and families we serve! Working at our front desk, I greet everyone and check in the patients. I also update records and charts. I am here to help answer questions and make visits go as smoothly as possible.

Dr. Azadpur welcomed me with open arms and does the same for every child and their family. I feel fortunate to have found the best office with the nicest people to work with. Everyone cares about one another and, most of all, about the well-being of children!

In my free time I enjoy singing, spending time at home doing DIY projects, and being with my husband of almost 30 years. After being a nanny for 26 years, I recently changed careers and am happy to still be working with children.

Theres a saying, Teamwork makes the dream work! and that reality is embodied by Dr. Azadpur and our team. Everyone is kind and giving: supporting each other so we can provide the best care for children!

For Dr. Maryam Azadpur and our team, nothing is more rewarding than connecting with a child and gaining their trust. This bond shows the child that we care about them. In turn, the little one is more open to learning and gets excited as he or shedevelops dental health habits that last a lifetime!

We are centered on childrens happiness, comfort, and well-being. From our inviting reception area to our kid-friendly dcor, and especially our warm andfriendly team, we help children feel at ease when visiting us.

Although we are skilled and highlytrained professionals, we are equally patient and attentive. We look forward to getting know your family and will dedicate the time necessary for positive, educational, and laughter-filled visits!

We expect kids to be kids, not little adults, and love spending our days in the company of energetic, blossoming personalities. Whether seeing a little one at thefirst visit, or welcoming back a teenagerfor a checkup and cleaning, we are happy to have this time with them.

Dr. Azadpur and our team want each child to know we care and respect them for who they are. We excel at helping anxious children feel secure and encouraging them to work through their worries. Using everyday language, a Show-Tell-Do approach, offering lots of praise, and always with a gentle touch, we establish comfort in the dental chair.

Dr. Azadpur and many of our staff are mothers, and some are grandmothers. We are respectful of parents concerns and seek to understand your expectations and desires. Rather than pushing certain procedures, or lecturing about your childs oral health, we will listen with open hearts.

Learning where you are coming from allows us to provide the level of care you want. Those ongoing conversations help us design treatment that is best for your childs health and allows us to provide practical guidance without shaming. We all want the best for your son or daughter!
