Pediatric Dentist in Avon, CT – Twinkle Tooth Pediatric Dentistry

Meet Dr. Brianna

Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Brianna Muñoz has a passion for working with children and is thrilled to bring her vision of a pediatric dental office to fruition by creating a warm, kid-friendly environment that cultivates trust and prioritizes patient care.

Dr. Muñoz received her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine at which time she was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) National Dental Honor Society. She then completed a residency in pediatric dentistry at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center (CCMC) while concurrently attaining her Master of Public Health (MPH) degree along with a Certificate of Interdisciplinary Disability Studies. In 2019, she obtained her board certification through the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD).

While volunteering on a service trip to Neltume, Chile, Dr. Muñoz saw firsthand the plight of healthcare disparities, and this transformative experience sparked her interest in oral health advocacy. As the AAPD Public Policy Advocate (PPA) for the state of Connecticut, Dr. Muñoz travels to Washington, DC each year where she lobbies at the federal level to strengthen oral health policy and trains residents from the University of Connecticut and Yale on a wide array of legislative issues. Dr. Muñoz also serves as Board President of the Connecticut Oral Health Initiative (COHI), a nonprofit organization that promotes access, quality, and equity of oral healthcare at the state level. In honor of these achievements, she was presented with the 2020 COHI Oral Health Champion Award as well as the 2023 Connecticut State Dental Association (CSDA) Rising Star Award.

“I want to give children the confidence to smile without inhibition. In pediatrics, I have the opportunity to focus on prevention and early intervention. It is my goal to create a positive experience for my patients so that they one day become adults without a fear of the dentist. I care about building meaningful relationships and feel privileged to be part of each child’s unique story as they grow. With the right tools and resources, all children can achieve a state of oral health.”
