About Dr. Brendaliz Bristol-Mártir
Dr. Brendaliz Bristol-Mártir, an accomplished pediatric dentist, is the heart of our practice. After earning her doctorate in general dentistry from the School of Dentistry, University of Puerto Rico, Dr. Bristol did a general practice residency at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. She then returned to Puerto Rico, where she completed a second post-doctoral program in pediatric dentistry. During her pediatric dental residency, Dr. Bristol was the chief resident and worked in many different areas in the hospital, including the operating room, emergency room, anesthesia department, internal medicine department, orthodontic department and dental clinic.
She is board certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentists, and she is also an active member in many leading dental organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists, New Jersey Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association. She actively attends continuing education seminars to stay up-to-date with new dental techniques so she can better treat her patients and family.
In her free time, Dr. Bristol attends church and spends time with her family and friends. She plays the clarinet, likes to read and enjoys listening to Christian music.

Your child will receive skilled and compassionate care at South Jersey Pediatric Dentistry. We offer a wide range of dental services to restore your child's dental health.
Should I Take My Child to the Emergency Room?
If your child is suffering from an urgent issue or a serious injury, it's perfectly acceptable to take them to the emergency room. They can prescribe medications like painkillers or antibiotics that can provide them with relief. They can also assist with controlling your child's bleeding if you're dealing with that.
However, ER doctors and nurses aren't experienced in pediatric dentistry. They don't know the proper dental care procedures to recommend to ensure your child's oral health. That's why we recommend contacting us as soon as possible.
AVOIDING INJURY
Here are a few suggestions to help your child avoid injury:
- Don’t let your child chew on ice, popcorn kernels or other hard objects.
- Childproof your house to prevent falls.
- Always place children in a car seat or put their seat belt on.
- Make sure they are helmeted for contact sports.
- Have us create a custom mouthguard for any sports activities.
How Do I Know If It’s an Emergency?
Below are the most common dental emergencies we’ve encountered along with our recommendations on what to do next:
Chipped teeth: Try to locate the chipped fragment and bring it with the child to our office. Use a cold compress to reduce pain.
Dislodged teeth: If a tooth was moved or loosened but not knocked out, don’t try to move it back into place. Bring the child to Dr. Bristol as quickly as you can.
Knocked-out teeth: If you can bring your child and the tooth to our office within 30 minutes of the injury, we can reposition the tooth in its socket. Only touch the tooth by the enamel, not the root. Gently rinse it (if it’s dirty) and store it in cold milk or saliva. Do not wash off the tooth with soap. See Dr. Bristol as soon as possible or head to the nearest emergency room.
Toothache: Rinse the child’s mouth and inspect it to make sure nothing is caught between the teeth. Use a cold compress to relieve pain. A children’s pain reliever may be taken orally. Of course, contact our office as soon as you can.
