Bitty Bites Pediatric Dentistry
Hi, I'm Dr. Lindsey North! I'm a board-certified pediatric dentist and the founder of Bitty Bites Pediatric Dentistry. I believe that every child deserves compassionate, individualized care, and that parents deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered from the very beginning. My goal is to create a space where children feel safe, parents feel confident asking questions, and every family leaves feeling cared for.
My passion for pediatric dentistry extends beyond healthy teeth—I'm especially passionate about infant oral function and helping babies and families navigate feeding challenges and airway issues related to tethered oral tissues, including tongue ties, lip ties, and buccal ties. I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to evaluating oral restrictions and, when treatment is appropriate, provide gentle CO₂ laser releases with a focus on improving function, not simply treating anatomy. I have curated a space in my office specifically for functional evaluations of tethered oral tissues and have designated time during the week to work together with lactation consultants during release appointments for breastfeeding little ones. I believe the best outcomes happen when families are surrounded by a collaborative team, so I enjoy working closely with lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, bodyworkers, pediatricians, ENTs, and other providers to support each child's unique needs.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from the College of William & Mary before receiving my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. I then completed my specialty training in pediatric dentistry while also earning a Master of Science in Oral Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago. At UIC, I developed a strong foundation in caring for infants, children, adolescents, and children with special healthcare needs. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. I'm also an Ambassador for The Breathe Institute, where I continue to expand my knowledge of airway-centered care and tethered oral tissues. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to continuing education in airway health, infant feeding, oral function, and laser dentistry because I believe learning never stops, and my patients deserve care that reflects the latest research and best practices.
I feel incredibly honored to be part of A Brighter Birth Collective because I believe families thrive when they have a trusted community of providers who truly work together. I am the mother of two little ones and wish I had this community when my babies were smaller! Whether you're preparing to welcome your first baby, working through feeding challenges, or looking for a dental home that values prevention, connection, and whole-child wellness, I look forward to walking alongside your family and helping your little one build a healthy foundation that lasts a lifetime.
