Mama’s Pediatric Dentistry - Dr. Heather Hoffman

Mama's Pediatric Dentistry, located at 2501 N Glebe Rd #203, Arlington, VA 22207, is a dental clinic specializing in pediatric dentistry, spearheaded by the highly qualified Dr. Heather Hoffman. Dr. Hoffman is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist, meaning she has completed extensive specialized training (an additional two years after dental school) and successfully passed a rigorous examination process by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. This certification ensures that the care provided adheres to high standards of excellence for the oral health of infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special healthcare needs. The clinic's mission extends beyond merely treating existing dental problems; it places a strong emphasis on prevention through patient and parent education. They aim to equip families with the necessary tools for a cavity-free future for their children. The practice provides a comprehensive range of services tailored to the unique dental and behavioral needs of children, from early childhood through college age. This includes addressing issues such as orthodontics, dental sealants, fluoride applications, and general oral hygiene education. Dr. Heather Hoffman's journey to establishing Mama's Pediatric Dentistry involved significant experience in various locations, including Maryland, Boston, and Ann Arbor, before she and her husband decided to settle closer to family on the East Coast. They envisioned creating a "Mom and Pop shop" where they could provide personalized, focused care with more doctor-patient interaction than is typically found. The practice prides itself on fostering a warm, welcoming, and family-oriented environment, aiming to be a dental "home away from home" for their patients. Dr. Hoffman's approach is characterized by expertise, kindness, and respect, building strong, lasting relationships with families as children grow from infancy into young adulthood.
