Family dentistry has been a way of life for me, and the passion for caring for children is in my genes. My mother who is also a pediatric dentist, was my first inspiration towards family dentistry. Having started my journey in family care as a pediatric dental assistant at Ashburn Children’s Dentistry, I spent many summers as my mother’s mentee. Watching what seemed like magical healing art while treating her patients and knowing the need and the power of proactive preventive dental care for children, I chose a career specializing in pediatric dentistry.

It is an honor to join my mother in practice at Ashburn Children’s Dentistry where I get to fulfill my commitment to helping each child and parent have a positive and transformative dental experience, with compassion and fun! Having matured as an integrative laser pediatric dental surgeon, I stay abreast of emerging research, and improve the quality of life for children by learning from the world’s leading researchers and clinicians. With this we are continually integrating critical aspects of oral structure, craniofacial development, and its impact on the pediatric airway in providing optimal patient outcomes. Caring for children is so powerful and rewarding. As a pediatric provider you understand utilizing gentle and minimal intervention therapies. Treating the source of their issues—instead of the symptoms—and focusing on early prevention, has been critical to my role in educating parents and assisting their blossoming child’s development into a healthy and resilient adult.

I hold an undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York, where I studied Psychology. I received a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and completed my Pediatric Residency at Interfaith Department of Dental Medicine in Brooklyn, New York, where I served in a leadership role as Chief Resident. Board certified, I am a proud Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
