When visiting Bloom Pediatric Dentistry + Orthodontics, you can always expect a seamless and enjoyable experience for the entire family. As a local Fairfax dentist, we love getting to meet new families and introducing little ones to a life of fun, informative dental care. Here’s what you can expect at your child’s first visit.
First, Dr. Merdad will carefully take a look at your child’s teeth and gums to ensure their oral health is on the right track and free of any dental issues.
During your child’s first appointment, we will perform a gentle, yet thorough preventive cleaning to promote a happy, healthy grin.
After their preventive treatments, Dr. Merdad will discuss your little one’s oral health and recommend a tailored treatment plan made just for their smile success.

First visits are overwhelming sometimes — there are so many new faces, sounds, and expectations! To help your child adjust, we offer desensitization appointments. Through a series of visits, we’ll give your child a tour of our office, introduce our friendly team, and teach them about dental tools. This helps your kiddo get acclimated with our space so they can feel safe, secure, and cared for.
With our family-friendly atmosphere, we’ve designed a space that keeps both you and your child at ease from the moment you walk through our doors.
A wholesome diet will keep your child’s teeth and body healthy, all while reducing the risk of cavities and other oral health issues. Your pediatric dentist can recommend dietary modifications to set your child’s smile and whole-body health up for success.
