Young Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

Nestled in Arlington, Virginia, we're committed to crafting warm, educational experiences. Under the guidance of Dr. Natalie Muir-Young, a board-certified pediatric dentist, our mission is to nurture happy, healthy smiles and leave a positive mark on families. With an emphasis on quality care, community involvement, and plenty of fun, we're dedicated to creating delightful dental memories for children of every age! For parents, selecting a pediatric dentist in Arlington is an important choice in their child’s health journey. Children can be treated by family dentists as well, but pediatric dentists have age-appropriate resources and additional training in the special requirements of children's dental health at different stages of development. Children typically require different dental care methods than adults. At Young Smiles, we have the resources and services families need to promote healthy smiles throughout childhood and beyond. Your child’s smile begins forming before they’re born. From their very first tooth erupting through puberty and beyond, our pediatric dentist in Arlington provides a wide range of dentistry services to promote a lifetime of healthy smiles. From early intervention and preventative care to special needs dentistry and advanced restorative methods, everything your child needs is available under one roof. In fact, many general dentists refer pediatric patients to our office because we can facilitate a gentle, efficient care experience for even the youngest of patients! Children who visit a happy, welcoming dental office at a young age are less likely to develop dental anxiety when they get older. At Young Smiles, we prioritize the needs of kids. We realize that going to the dentist can be frightening for some children, so we work hard to provide a welcoming environment that will make your child enjoy their time with us. Look no further than Young Smiles for a pediatric dentist in Arlington. Our pediatric dentist is dedicated to giving your kid the best dental care possible. We take the time to get to know our patients and their families because we recognize the individuality of every child, including those with special needs.

This was our second time visiting this Dental office and again it didn’t disappoint! From the second you walk in you are greeted with a friendly face, inviting atmosphere and a limited wait. Every person who works there was excited to see us and greeted my daughter by name. They did everything within their power to make my two year old feel comfortable. They asked her permission before they did anything, respected her boundaries when she wasn’t comfortable and took things at a pace she was comfortable with. She went in feeling shy and left out feeling very confident. I love Young Smiles and highly recommend this practice!

After a long and difficult search for a dentist who could accommodate my highly anxious teenagers, I found Young Smiles—and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. My daughter, who was very nervous at first, felt genuinely welcomed and safe. Her anxiety melted away after a calming conversation with her dental hygienist. The team’s patience and compassion were truly remarkable, and every interaction we had was reassuring. Scheduling the appointment was a breeze as well. They fit me in , the same day. As a parent who also experiences dental anxiety, it was a huge relief to find a practice that not only eased my daughter’s nerves but also gave me confidence in their care. I’m so thankful to have discovered Young Smiles—they’ve made a challenging experience comfortable and positive for both of us. Looking forward to bringing my son next!

Fantastic Pediatric Dental Care at Young Smiles! I couldn’t be happier with the care my children received at Young Smiles! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, instantly making my little ones feel comfortable and at ease. The office is beautifully designed with child-friendly decorations, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere that put my kids in a great mood. Dr. Young and Mrs. Elizabeth were absolutely fantastic—so gentle, patient, and excellent at explaining everything to both me and my girls. They took the time to ensure my children felt comfortable throughout the entire visit, and even made sure to explain what each tool was in a way that was both fun and easy for them to understand. The whole team made the experience enjoyable from start to finish, and now my girls actually look forward to their dental visits! I’m so grateful to have found a pediatric dentist who truly cares about making dental visits a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Young Smiles to any parent looking for an exceptional dentist for their children!

This was our toddler's first dentist appointment, and we chose Young Smiles based on Google reviews. They did not disappoint! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, making the process easy and painless for our son (thumbs up approved!). The team also provided lots of great tips based on our current brushing routine.

We can’t say enough about Dr. Muir-Young and all the staff at Young Smiles!! Dr. Young has been treating my girls since they were both 2 yrs old! She is so caring, honest, and great with treating children. She is sincerely excited when she sees my girls for their routine cleanings; and my girls are just as excited to see her. I 100% recommend Young Smiles!!
