Dr. Andrea Mann

When small teeth start to peek through gums, parents in Basking Ridge start scanning the map for a pediatric dentist who understands the quiet panic of a first dental visit. Those early appointments set the tone for years of check-ups, and finding the right fit can feel like threading a needle. Dr. Andrea Mann specializes in exactly this—turning routine cleanings and fluoride treatments into something less daunting, more routine than ordeal.

The practice sits at 150 N Finley Ave Suite 101, a low-slung building just off the main drag where the neighborhood shifts from retail to residential. It’s the kind of spot you might drive past a dozen times before realizing it’s there, tucked between a dry cleaner and a real estate office. Inside, the focus stays on what matters: sealants to guard against cavities, gentle exams for toddlers, and space maintainers for kids who lose a tooth too soon.

Pediatric dentistry isn’t just about smaller chairs and cartoon stickers—though those help. It’s about adapting techniques to short attention spans and even shorter patience. X-rays become games, fillings get explained in terms of superheroes fighting sugar bugs, and orthodontic evaluations happen before braces become a battlefield. Questions about thumb-sucking or pacifiers get answered without judgment, just practical advice.

To schedule a visit or ask about emergency care, call (908) 340-4848. The office doesn’t post walk-in hours, so a quick phone check saves a trip. For directions, the map pinpoints the exact spot where Finley Avenue meets the quiet side streets of Basking Ridge: here.
