Dr. Fernanda G Fontes is a pediatric dentist in Chantilly, Virginia. Pediatric dentists are specialists in treating children’s dental needs from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric Dentists have gone through additional 2 to 3 years of specialized training after dental school to learn about the unique dental and health needs of children. Dr. Fontes received additional training in treating children with complex medical conditions, behavior guidance techniques as well as child development and psychology. Establishing a dental home and having regular appointments every 6 months can help identify and treat dental infections and oral pathology early preventing your child to experience discomfort and pain.

Dr. Fontes understands that a child's experience during the first several dental visits will influence how the child reacts to dentistry throughout his or her lifetime. A positive experience now can set the tone for ongoing regular dental care throughout their adult life.
