Pediatric dentistry and Orthodontics of Virginia is a godsend for parents of little ones. My 3-year-old and 6-year-old used to scream at the mention of the dentist, but Dr. Carter and her team worked magic. They turned cleanings into games—using a “Mr. Thirsty” suction tool and letting the kids “drive” the chair.

My oldest needed early orthodontic work, and they explained it in kid terms (“we’re giving your teeth a little nudge to grow straight!”). The office is a kid paradise with a play area, cartoons, and stickers galore. They’re pros at calming fears, offer weekend appointments, and even send follow-up texts to check on the kids. Now my kids ask, “When do we get to go to the tooth doctor again?” Total game-changer!

My daughter has been coming here for over 5+ years. She had some teeth removed and two sets of Braces. After all this time wearing braces, My daughter’s smile and teeth are amazing! She loves her smile and loves the workers at the dentist’s office. I highly recommend this place!!

I had a disappointing experience at this pediatric dental office. Each of my son’s three visits left me feeling anxious and frustrated. From the first appointment when he was 9 months old, the staff pinned him down and forcefully opened his mouth without any attempt to ease him into the process. The same happened at his 18-months and 2-year visits. During our last visit, I was asked if the staff could take my 2-year-old son back alone. After I declined, I was informed that we would need to wait longer while they cleared out the back room. This raised concerns for me, and after reading other reviews, I now understand why.

It seems they may not want parents to witness how children are treated behind closed doors, which is quite unsettling. I find this approach baffling and deeply concerning. The lack of compassion is a common issue. I will not be returning and I hope the staff can improve their approach to working with children. Compassion is essential in Pediatric dentistry.

My kids are now 14 and 16 and have been going to PDOVA in Colonial Heights since they were babies. My daughter just got her second set of Braces off and we are thrilled with her results. The entire staff is great and always treats us like family. They are amazing! I can’t recommend them enough.
