The mission of RVA Children's Dentistry is to provide an exceptional level of dental care in an environment that not only promotes good dental health and development, but positive emotional development as well. The American Association of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children should visit their dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning.
This allows for early diagnosis of any problems so that they are easier and less expensive to address. Our practice can provide a wide range of dental services. We can typically provide every type of dental service without having to refer you to other specialties.

Bekki grew up in Arkansas and moved to Virginia in her early twenties. She has worked with Dr. Carter as a dental assistant for over 15 years. Bekki is the Office Coordinator for RVA Children's Dentistry. She takes care of billing and all of the administrative tasks involved in helping to make sure you have a wonderful experience in our office.
Attempt to schedule appointments as soon as time permits and at your convenience. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they tend to be well rested and therefore more cooperative. This allows our staff to work more leisurely with the child for their comfort. School aged children that require extensive work should also be scheduled in the morning time for the same reason.

This allows for early diagnosis of any problems so that they are easier and less expensive to address. During the exam, your child's pediatric dentist will carefully check the health and development of your child's teeth and gums.
Even for young children who only have their primary teeth, x-rays play a big role in their dental health. X-rays are our best way to make sure teeth are coming in properly, that they are healthy and that unseen problems are not cropping up. Besides helping us find decay, x-rays also enable us to see how wisdom teeth are coming in and help our orthodontists in planning for treatment.
Dental fears are common, especially in young children. Additionally, some children with special healthcare needs may be prone to anxiety or have sensory disorders that cause regular dental care to be a very challenging experience for them. For these patients, sedation dentistry can be the key to helping them get the care they need for strong, healthy teeth.

This place was so nice, everyone who worked with my kids were super gentle and nice! Even my kids loved them, and they also gave a little goodie bag after there appointment with a toothbrush and some little toys ! My kids kept on saying that this place was better than the old one, I’d recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Dr. Carter and her staff are beyond patient! My son has chronic health issues and he is very leery of medical offices. But he loves Dr Carter!!! Moreover, he is a difficult case, in that, his permanent molars are in jeopardy of being lost... and Dr Carter has gone above and beyond to try and save his teeth. We experienced unnecessary and expensive extractions from our previous pediatric dentist. Dr Carter does not perform unnecessary procedures/sedation, but only suggests a procedure when absolutely necessary. She gave me all the options and thoughtfully explained what we should expect.

Dr. Carter is hands down the very best in her field if she took adults i would def be in her seat. She is so good with kids and listens to them and shes so passionate and caring. She has done 2 dental procesures for my son and always calls the same day a couple hours later to see how hes doing. Will never go anywhere else. Love her like family. And Bekki too!
