Meet Dr. Tony
A specialist in children’s dentistry, 25 years in West Boylston, and a good supply of silly sunglasses.
A pediatric dentist, by training and by choice.
Pediatric dentists complete additional residency training focused on children’s dental needs, including kids who are anxious or have special health needs.
Dr. Tony Saito earned his dental degree at the University of Pennsylvania, then trained at Mount Sinai in New York and Columbia University, where he was made chief resident. In 2001 he opened his own practice in West Boylston and designed the office himself, with one goal: to educate, enlighten and encourage young patients to value good dental health for life.
He has never stopped teaching. Dr. Tony lectures each year at Penn Dental Medicine, and the school’s pediatric teaching clinic is now named the Saito Pediatric Care Center.
