Dentists who are specialized in providing pediatric dental services are called pediatric dentists. Pediatric dentistry (formerly pedodontics) is the branch of dentistry dealing with children from birth through adolescence. The specialty of pediatric dentistry is recognized by the American Dental Association. Dr. Maryam Mohammadi completed her specialty at Boston University. She has been offering pediatric dental services since 1995. She establishes Beverly pediatric dentistry practice at the primer pediatric dental office in Mclean VA and Washington DC.
Dr. Mohammadi’s residency training was divided between Boston University School of dental medicine pediatric clinic and Franciscan Children Hospital in Boston, MA.

A Pediatric Dentist — The Best dental Care For Children
Children are not just small adults. They are not always able to be patient and cooperative during a dental exam. A pediatric dentist knows how to examine and treats children in ways that makes them comfortable. In addition, a pediatric dentist uses specially designed equipment in offices that are arranged and decorated with children in mind.
Our pediatric dental office offers a wide range of pediatric dental services to care for your child’s teeth, gums, and mouth. When your pediatrician suggests that your child receive a dental exam, you can be assured that a pediatric dentist will provide the best possible care.
