District Pediatric Dentistry

My 6 and 2 year olds had a blast at District Pediatric Dentistry! Dr. Janet and her staff were so welcoming that they calmed down my daughter's dentist anxiety completely! She was so comfortable that she became a great helper when her little brother had his own struggles. Everyone was super patient with him, so we were able to get him into the chair for his check up. The practice is immaculate with lots of kid friendly stuffed animals, a tent for a little calm down space, and a cool prize machine.

Dr. Janet also has great visual aids to help explain tooth friendly snacking and that back up our house snack rules. They are telling everyone at school and daycare about how cool their dentist is 😁🪥🦷! So excited to have found our dental home in DC. Update: I wanted to leave a second review for the more involved appointment that my daughter had to have to replace crowns that had been installed in a brusque manner 2 years ago and had given my daughter some trauma.

Dr. Janet was great about ensuring Zafira was ok before and during her appointment so that she walked out beaming. She has been hounding us about when she "gets" to go to the dentist again.

Dr. Janet and her staff are incredibly welcoming and patient, and the office is beautiful, clean, and very kid-friendly. My five year old had a really good experience and loved getting to watch cartoons — on the ceiling! — during his checkup, and enjoyed the prizes he received at the end. Dr.

Janet gave me helpful advice on flossing and electric toothbrushes for kids. The office is conveniently located in the Foxhall medical building. We plan to return, and I look forward to bringing my younger son here as well.

I cannot say enough good things about this practice after our first visit yesterday. Both the hygienist and dentist are so kind and patient, exactly what you want when your child's receiving care. The office is bright, engaging, and set up for little ones. My daughter felt comfortable and even enjoyed her appointment.

For parents, the scheduling and business aspects are efficient, as well. Real care and attention on every level here.

We absolutely love Dr. Janet and Sophie at District Pediatric Dentistry! I recently brought my 16 mo daughter for her first visit, and it went better than I could have asked for. Dr. Janet has a great bedside manner with a focus on patient education while also being genuine and kind.

The office is warm, inviting, and clean, and tailored to little ones (I'm honestly jealous I didn't have someone like her as a kid since I spent a lot of time in the dentist's chair). If you're bringing a toddler in for the first time, she actually has a separate room for the first visit that helps your kiddo with getting acclimated to the office and allows you to hold them instead of plopping them in a chair by themselves. I also want to highlight that Dr. Janet and her staff go above and beyond.

My 2 mo old was with me when we went in for the appt as my husband was working and Sophie, her assistant, was so kind and held him so I could focus on my daughter. I look forward to future visits and am excited to see Dr. Janet's business continue to grow!
