Pediatric Dentistry of Burke
Burke Pediatric Dentist
At Pediatric Dentistry of Burke, Dr. David Treff is pleased to provide pediatric dentistry for infants, children, and adolescents. We offer care based on individual needs, with respect for the wishes of the parents. Our dental care is enhanced by high-tech dental equipment such as NOMAD digital X-rays, Dry Shield isolation, intraoral cameras, Kavo hand pieces, and panoramic radiography. We have provided pediatric dentistry for 9 years serving the communities of Burke, Fairfax, Springfield, Annandale, Falls Church, McLean, Alexandria, and surrounding areas. We are committed to the health and welfare of children through optimal oral health. In the Journal of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) stated, “Dental caries (cavities) is the most common chronic disease of children.”* The percentages were shocking: 24% of children 2 to 4 years of age, 53% of children 6 to 8 years of age, and 56% of 15 year old experience caries (untreated dental caries, filled teeth, teeth missing as a result of dental caries). At Pediatric Dentistry of Burke we seek to reduce or eliminate this experience for our patients through prevention. Annual exams, cleanings, dietary counseling, oral hygiene instructions, and the consistent use of fluoride are all elements of an individualized treatment plan. When the caries experience occurs and treatment is unavoidable, we carefully consider all the options as outlined by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). We maintain the highest levels of sterilization and waterline safety and are devoted to a clean and comfortable office setting. Come by and see for yourself, talk with the staff, and meet Dr. Dave with the “silly” glasses.

Periodic Exams & Cleanings
Dental examinations are used to help us find decay that could be causing problems such as cavities and gingivitis. During an examination children will be able to learn about the various tools we use, and how they need to use their toothbrush and floss to clean their teeth. We use Fluoride treatments to strengthen the teeth of young patients. Read More…

Extractions & Space Maintenance
For teeth to grow in correctly, there needs to be space. When several teeth fall out around the same time, it can leave noticeable gaps and larger teeth start to grow in their place. These gaps become too small quickly, causing some teeth shifting to occur. We provide extractions for patients in need of teeth removal, and we offer spacers to help move the teeth to allow for additional room between the teeth. Read More…

Crowns
Children can end up with a situation where a crown is required. Large cavities can lead to crowns being used to protect the root of the tooth. Read More…
Sealants
Keeping the teeth free from cavities can be challenging for children. Many children are unable to reach the crevices and between the teeth when they are brushing and flossing. Dental sealants are one way to add in more protection for a tooth. A sealant is placed on the chewing area of the tooth, keeping bacteria from getting between it and the tooth and preventing tooth decay. Read More…
