Jay Leung, DMD
Pediatric Dentist/Practice Owner
Originally a hockey-loving kid from Canada, Dr. Jay graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Knowing he had a passion for treating children, he specialized in pediatric dentistry at Boston University. For the past eight years, he’s been practicing pediatric dentistry in the Hartford area, putting smiles on patients and parents alike.
Outside of work, Dr. Jay volunteers for Mission of Mercy, which provides free dental care, healthcare and prescription medication to uninsured people in Connecticut and other states. He also shows young children how to take care of their teeth through Head Start, a state-run early child development program. Dr. Jay is an instructor for the dental assistant program at Lincoln College of New England and a member of the Southington Dental Society. He also serves on the board of the Connecticut Society of Pediatric Dentists.
Dr. Jay lives in West Hartford with his wife Lindsey. Once a competitive runner, he now does most of his running chasing after their two young children, Lena and Everett.
We love The Little Tooth Company so much, we drive almost an hour to go there! Dr. Jay essentially saved my one year old from having to have dental surgery in an operating room under anesthesia when he was one and we have been going ever since. He is almost nine now! They are kind, patient and gentle. They explain everything they are doing in a way my children can understand. It’s super clean and welcoming and I trust them fully.
