Dr. Peter Markov and his team at the award-winning VK Pediatric Dentistry want to remind you to not forget your child’s dental health as kids get ready to go back to school.

If you have children who have not had a recent dental exam or cleaning because of COVID-19, do not hesitate to schedule at the beautiful, kid-friendly and clean office in Arlington. In addition to taking every safety measure possible to ensure children are safe and comfortable at their visits, the practice is still limiting all appointments to just one family at a time, ensuring your loved ones are seen in the most personalized and safest way possible.
