Brittany Bauer, DMD, MS
Pediatric Dentist
I joined the team in the summer of 2022. I was born and raised in the West Suburbs of Chicago. I spent most of my childhood in St. Charles, IL until switching high schools between my sophomore and junior year and graduating from Wauconda High School in the Northwest suburbs.I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I continued my education to specialize in pediatric dentistry at a two-year residency program in Indianapolis, IN where I served as Chief Resident at Riley Hospital for Children. Upon completion of my program, I received my certificate in Pediatric Dentistry and Masters of Science in Dentistry degree from Indiana University. My husband and I currently live in Chicago with our black cat, Baggy, who we love so much! As newlyweds, we are simply enjoying the peace and quiet before growing our family. When not in the office, I like to spend my time trying new restaurants, going on fishing trips with my family, and finding time to travel to scuba dive in new places. Palos Pediatric Dentistry is like a second home to me. I’m privileged to be a part of such a great team that works seamlessly together.
We love Palos Pediatric Dentistry! From the arrival check in with the Insurance Coordinator, Tina, and on ward to the Dental Hygienists, Melissa and Fay, and final check up with Dr. Facko, the entire team are friendly and seem like family instead of the professionals they truly are. My daughters do not have a chance to become nervous and the appointments always run smooth. The dental hygienists and Dr. Facko always explain very clearly what they are about to do and educate the girls on proper dental care and oral hygiene. Thank you Dr. Facko, Tina, Melissa and Fay!
