My children and I loved our visit to Shirlington Pediatric Dentistry. From the team out front who were excellent at helping me book appointments, to Dr. Rai and the rest of her team, we had the best experience. Added to that, the space is aesthetically pleasing. My kids are already looking forward to their next visit.

Always have a great experience when I come here. Even my daughter loves coming and this is that she hates the dentist. Everyone is always nice and patient and always greets us at the door. Very welcoming environment.

Dr. Rai is a real community treasure! She is so warm, nice, and friendly, she immediately puts my children at ease during every visit. I cannot say enough good things about her--everyone with kids cautious about heading to the dentist should take advantage of all Dr. Rai has to offer. Every visit to her has been a breeze!

We had a great first visit to Shirlington Pediatric Dentistry for our almost 2 year old (her first dentist visit). They are so kind and accommodating in making her feel comfortable and giving us the information we need as parents to help her keep a healthy mouth of teeth! It’s a gorgeous office too. Very nice waiting area for families.
