How To Choose a Pediatric Dentist?

Here at Falls Church Pediatric Dental Center, we understand that finding the right pediatric dentist you can trust can sometimes be overwhelming. To help make this decision feel a lot easier, we invite you to read through some of the top things to consider when seeking a pediatric dentist.

Ask Your Family and Friends

If you have relatives, co-workers or friends with kids in the area, we encourage you to ask them questions about their child’s dental experience. Ask them what they looked for in a pediatric dentist and what made them schedule an appointment.

Do Your Research

Take time to review the educational background and certifications a pediatric dentist should have and check to see if those dentists on your list meet those requirements.

Keep Your Child’s Comfort in Mind

When you bring your child in for an initial consultation, pay attention to how the pediatric dentist interacts with your child. You may ask yourself, is this person friendly? Do they tend to my child’s needs? Does the office look clean and feel safe? These are all great questions to think about when making your final decision.

See What Works Best With Your Schedule

Sometimes one of the key influences of choosing a pediatric dentist is finding someone who is nearby and available to you before or after work for your child to receive the care they need.

As you search for a pediatric dentist, we hope you consider Dr. Roselyne Gichana, Dr. Shazia Sheikh or Dr. Breanna Donald on your list to give your child the gift of quality, gentle care they can trust.
