We were sad to have to leave our old kids’ dentist but Dr. Lara and her team was great with our 3.5 and 2 year old! We know we’re in good hands and our kids are excited to go back. We got great advice specific to their dental situation not just general advice.

They were incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything in a way that eased any nervousness. Dr. Lara was kind, thorough, and made sure all our questions were answered. The entire visit was smooth, and our girl left with a big smile. We highly recommend this office for anyone looking for a gentle and caring dental experience for their little ones!

I am so glad we chose to take our (almost 2 year old) daughter to Dr. tooth fairy for her first ever dental appointment. I genuinely feel that our experience was top notch. I had anxiety about how my daughter would do as she is very protective of her personal space (which I think is great) but she did so well. And I learned things I never knew about teeth, lip tie, long term and short term things to look out for and oh my gosh the amount of books and toys! My husband and I got there early to make sure she got accustomed to the environment and it wasn’t hard, they literally designed it to be 1000% kid friendly. The exam, cleaning, and fluoride treatment was fast yet thorough. The doctor gave us great tips, recommendations, AND CLEAR instructions. Even though my daughter cried a little, we worked as a team to coach her through it and gave her lots of praise. She was greeted by staff with friendliness and enthusiasm. Going back in 6 months for her next appointment. Super fun place. Kinda wish there was a place like this for adults lol!

We had a great visit for my two kids at Doctor Toothfairy. They got them back quick and the whole visit went very smoothly! My kids are always a little nervous about the dentist but the hygienists made cleaning and X-rays fun, quick, and painless! They have the kids watching shows during the cleaning which helps them stay still. Dr. Saleh did a check and explained any concerns clearly and answered any questions we had. My kids love the end when they get to get coins from the toothfairy and use them for prizes!

It’s welcoming and enchanting and exciting for kids to the point where they definitely must count down the days until their next appointment. All staff are incredibly gentle and kind and Dr Lara is one of a kind. She’s smart, sweet, and understanding and has unique solutions and suggestions for unique problems. I will recommend this awesome office again and again and again!

I had to take my 3 year old (very anxious) to two other dentists until we found this place. My toddler went from not being able to open her mouth for a dentist to not wanting to leave Dr. Toothfairy. The doctor was very skilled in making my daughter feel relaxed and comfortable. I also appreciated that they were very transparent about pricing and what I can expect to pay out of pocket. Lastly, the office’s attention to detail and personalization is so unique for parents with young children. If IKEA designed a dentist office, it would be this! I look forward to continue bringing my children here for their dental needs.

Having moved to the area recently, my son was so enamored with the visit that Dr. Tooth Fairy to his preschool. They were able to accommodate a new appointment only a week out since we were behind on getting his semi-annual cleaning scheduled. The experience itself was very professional and very kid friendly. Would recommend for any pediatric dental needs. Thanks!

Dentist Saleh is extremely unprofessional and we had a terrible experience with her, read on. Our insurance was max'ed out and we were to pay out of pocket. We received an estimate for $1,701 for the work my daughter needed, a huge shock. We delayed her appointment and my wife spoke to the front office about getting a possible discount since we would be paying out of pocket. In the meantime, we met with an orthodontist who told us not to remove the tooth the dentist wanted to remove (and the xray that went along with it). The front office staff asked us to find comparable costs and send it to them and they would see what they could do about reducing our invoice.
When we emailed about 2 weeks later asking for a revised "good faith estimate", dentist Saleh was offended and said we were acting in bad faith and would not treat my daughter. We had to explain to her that a "good faith estimate" is a legal term used for all providers. Why didn't you even know this as a provider? We also explained that HER STAFF ASKED US to send comparable pricing in which we found lower prices for the services being offered. Essentially, we were asking for a discount because we were paying out of pocket. For whatever reason, she was offended by this and again refused to treat my daughter.
Dentist Saleh: you are pissed at the wrong people. You should be pissed at your staff who suggested to us to find and send comparables to you. Even if you didn't want to give us a further discount, you could have just said "this is the best I can do, take it or leave it". But you were rude and highly unprofessional to us. And no, our email was not an apology to you by any means, it was a clarification. We are not going to apologize for explaining to you what a "good faith estimate" is or for asking for a discount for your overpriced services. We will be taking our daughter to a more competent dentist. We have also filed a complaint with CMS against your office.

We had a good experience here. They were gentle and very patient with my child who has special needs. They did a good job starting where he was and not forcing anything on him which means a lot after past experience with a practice where the only option was to use restraints to complete treatment. We have a plan to slowly work towards a cleaning by dropping in a few times to get used to coming.

My daughter loved all the books and toys. Even though she was not the most happy during the actual exam (lol), the whole set up is genius in making the experience super efficient and easy. Dr. Lara was so gentle, caring, and friendly. We are grateful for the recommendation and look forward to the next visit.

This was truly the BEST experience I have ever had at a medical office of any kind. We were referred to Dr. Lara Saleh through a friend, and now we can’t wait to refer more friends and family to this practice. We were nervous about our son’s first visit to the dentist, but to our surprise he had so much fun! The waiting room had so many fun areas to put our son at ease, and there are tons of toys to keep kids occupied during sign-in. Dr. Lara was so good with him and made him feel so comfortable. She provided tons of valuable tips for keeping his teeth healthy and continuing good dental habits. Every detail of the office was so thoughtful and designed to give children the best experience possible. Dr. Lara truly cares about her practice and her patients - and it shows! I never thought I’d say this, but I can’t wait to bring him back to the dentist!

So cute and welcoming when you first arrive, lots of toys available, Pac-Man game and the tooth fairy’s house which kept her very entertained. We were taken to a small room with a couch and they had prepared a sign for her first visit which was so special! The doctor was so nice and the whole visit was quick and painless and no crying! My daughter seemed to enjoy it. She was able to pick a toy to leave with and was given two tokens to choose another toy from the lobby’s toy vending machines. 5 stars!

The staff were professional, patient and kind. I called in for an appointment on the same day because we had to travel the next day and they were able to accommodate us. The Dentist is just amazing with kids. She definitely knows what she is doing. She has skill and understands everything that my son needed to get his milk teeth out. She also explained to us in detail what she was doing and what we needed to do in the follow-up visit. I recommend that everyone in the area with a child go to this dentist. This was my son's first dental experience. He has been afraid of going to the dentist but during this experience he was calm and comfortable during the whole time. Now when I talk about going back, he is not afraid at all.

After a not so great experience with a different dentist in January, finding Dr. Toothfairy has been a complete game changer. Dr. Saleh and her staff go above and beyond to provide great care in a fun and magical environment. Toy chest? Nope, here kids get coins from the fairy doors to later redeem prizes of their choosing.
My daughter had some extensive appointments, but got to choose from different laughing gas smells (chocolate, vanilla, bubblegum), once set in she received injections using a painless and musical shot tool. In all the appointments went much better than January, and we were able to avoid General Anesthesia (that was recommended by other dentist) altogether.
Thank Dr. Toothfairy for providing top notch care!

When your 2.5 year old doesn't want to leave, you know you've found the best dentist! We've seen Dr. Lara twice already and she is SO wonderful with kiddos (and parents). She's super informative and really takes the time to go over oral care, recommendations, and what to look out for in emergencies etc. depending on your child's age. I always feel educated when we leave and she really has a lovely, calm demeanor which makes visits smooth and quick. She's given us great tips for brushing and pointed out and explained findings during the exam/what areas to watch out for and why. You can tell she loves what she does and really, I love that she is so patient and her office is very welcoming, bright, and kid-friendly. So far, our little babe is off to a great start and loves going to the dentist and we're grateful we found Dr. Lara's office. I used to work in a pediatric dental office myself years ago and this is exactly the type of office/Dr. I wished for my daughter!

We had such a delightful time with Dr Lana and her employees! There are toothfairy doors that delight, a sensory room, and lots of toys! My son loved those touches. The special touches that had his name on them made us feel special and at home. Dr Lana took her time educating us on best practices and non sponsored products to help oral hygiene which our last dentist did not provide at such a professional level that she did. Dr toothfairy is an amazing place to bring our child to to set up great oral health from the start. We are so grateful!

My son, Lincoln Bartola, was seen yesterday by Dr. Lara for a follow up appt. My father in law took him and he had glowing remarks about the visit. He said that Dr Lara was very kind, friendly and informative. She explained everything so well to my FIL and he reported back to me and I understood everything that was said. He also said the facility is immaculate and very very child friendly which is so helpful for children.

It was a wonderful experience for my four kids when we went to Dr. Toothfairy. my kids had a wonderful time. They were not scared at all, because the dentist was very friendly and showed them around the clinic. She designed her clinic to be tailored perfectly for a fun learning experience for the kids. They went on fairy scavenger hunts and they got the cutest goodie bags.
I definitely recommend this place if you want your kid to enjoy going to the dentist!

Our experience with Dr. Lara and her team at Dr, Toothfairy was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that immediately put both my children and me at ease.
Dr. Lara's staff deserves special recognition for their incredible ability to make my kids feel comfortable and welcome. Their kindness and patience truly made the difference, turning what could have been a stressful visit into a pleasant one.
The office itself was a delight! It was creatively designed with vibrant colors and playful decor that instantly captured my children's attention. It created a fun atmosphere that made going to the dentist an enjoyable experience rather than a chore.
As for Dr. Lara herself, she is simply fantastic. Not only is she a skilled and honest dentist, but her genuine care for her young patients shines through in every interaction. She took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all of our questions with patience and expertise.
Overall, I cannot recommend Dr. Lara and her team highly enough. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who truly cares about your child's well-being and provides top-notch care in a fun and welcoming environment, look no further!

Wish they had this when we were kids! First dental visit was positive and they have numerous things to make a kid want to come back. Excited to see how our treatment plan goes. They have a sensory room, toys, and tvs above the dental chairs. Lots of little customer satisfaction investments like sunglasses to give the kids to block the light from their eyes (they’re SUPER cute too). Made not only my kid feel comfortable and cared for, but me as the parent too!

Such a positive experience, from seeing her name on the board by the door when we arrived, to the tooth fairy door and present at the end. The receptionists had been so helpful on emails and they are also super nice in person. The doctor was also so great and taught us so much. As a first time mom, I went to this appointment a little nervous I wasn’t doing everything I was supposed to, but she lifted this weight off my shoulders and I left so happy I chose this office. I came home telling everyone I could not recommend it enough.

Dr. Laura was absolutely the best, completely understanding, explained everything in detail. We left feeling confident and with a treatment plan we were comfortable with and a very happy toddler. Thank you so much for your compassion and kindness it made a world of a difference for my (previously) terrified daughter. I look forward to working with you for the unforeseeable future.

She was totally cool with me being by his side for comfort and the team effort was a great success ! He left saying “ I can’t wait to see Dr. Lara again !”
Went back today with all 3 of my very young kids. Lara continued to be the sweet , kind gentle dentist in nature that she is. She broke down the children’s dental plans patiently and made me feel at ease about the future.

Dr. Saleh and her team are top-notch. I most strongly recommend her practice for pediactric dentistry. She made our 3 year old daughter feel at ease when she needed to get a few cavities filled. From the first visit, she had a very positive impression of going to a dentist.
What sets Dr. Saleh apart is her kind way with children and strong empathy, while maintaining the utmost professional care of her patients. My daughter enjoyed going to Dr. Saleh so much that whenever we drive by her practice, she says she misses her dentist and wants to go back!
The practice is very child-oriented and makes kids feel comfortable and ensures they have a pleasant and positive experience from the second they enter.

I cannot sing Dr. Saleh's praises enough! My son had a dental emergency, and I left a voicemail after hours as a new patient. Dr. Saleh returned my phone call, offered to FaceTime with me and my son, and texted me a ton of information with all of our options. She calmed my anxiety, and also scheduled us for the next day. When we arrived, the dentist office and the staff members were all incredible. Dr. Saleh came out to the waiting room to meet us and take a look at my son before he was even called back. She was very knowledgeable, calming, and didn't push any procedures which may be unnecessary. My son who usually has anxiety at the dentist loved it here! We will be doing all of our dental care at this office moving forward. Thank you, Dr. Toothfairy!

I called early on a Sunday morning after my daughter fell the night before looking for an emergency visit. We received a call, then a FaceTime to see my daughter’s mouth, then she offered to open her office, take X-rays and perform an extraction if necessary. I so appreciated Dr. Lara giving up part of her precious weekend with her family to help out my daughter, especially when she is not our dentist (though we will be switching). I can not recommend this practice enough.

The coins and prize machines were a perfect touch to wrap up the visit of course!

Dr Lara Saleh and the whole practice was amazing. It was my 2 year olds first time at the dentist. I was worried that upon seeing people in scrubs she would get scared as she had to go to the ER twice in 2 months. But there was so much to entertain her she just wanted to play! She cried only for the actual exam, which was done with me sitting in a comfy chair and sitting her facing me. Then laying her back and resting her head on Dr. Salehs lap. Such a good technique. She was done in less than 5 minutes and immediately stopped crying. She was really happy there and wanted to keep playing! HIGHLY recommend for anyone with tiny kids or scared kids.

We could not have had a better experience at Dr. Toothfairy! My son is 18 months and this was his first visit to a dentist. Dr. Lara was quick and gentle, and she helped me understand age appropriate oral hygiene priorities. The space is inviting and engaging for kids, and the attention to detail in this practice is very evident.
UPDATE: We've been to Dr. Lara 3 times now, and each time I leave feeling so positive about the experience. She gives the parent very helpful information about things to pay attention to and be aware of, and helped my 2-year old be at ease.

We were new in town and were looking for a new pediatric dentist in the area. We met Dr Lara at the Falls Chirch farmers market and since then I’ve been in contact with her as a possible dentist for my 7 children. Dr Lara has far exceeded our expectations in
1) knowledge - she had thorough knowledge of my son’s cavity and expertise in dealing with it
2) bedside manners - awesome interpersonal skills and communication
3) her office is state of the art and very pediatric friendly - the only dentist I know that has a video screen for each dental chair
4) great respect for her preventative guidance and respect for family’s wishes
5) very state of the art questionnaires

I cannot recommend this place enough. It was our first time. As soon as you walk in, it is so inviting for children. The environment is super kid friendly, and beautiful. The ambiance is very calm.
Then Dr Saleh immediately initiated a conversation with me which was so nice. She took the time to talk with me even though her front desk assistants were already attending to my daughter and I. All of the staff is so kind and approachable!!
I was looking for a 2nd opinion and she definitely help me become more settled with my daughter’s dental treatment. I went to one pediatric dentist and needed a 2nd opinion just to make sure my husband and I give my daughter the best and safe treatment. I am so happy that we went for a 2nd opinion!
She was so thorough and attentive to my questions and concerns. Her expertise definitely solidified our choice to pick her for my daughter’s dental treatment.
My daughter had a positive experience and she was treated very well. I would highly recommended Dr Saleh and her team to anyone looking for l pediatric dental care.
Before we left the office, my daughter was given a voucher to Scramble, which was such a wonderful treat!
Update (1/11/24)- Yesterday was our 3rd visit and the staff was splendid, kind, and just overall inviting and helpful. My son was seen for a regular cleaning and he did so well with cleaning and x-ray. The assistant was so patient with him and gave gentle instructions. My daughter had her cavities filled and she was such a trooper! Dr Lara and her team are just wonderful professionals who genuinely love their job. They display so much care and kindness in their practice and interaction.

We came in for my daughter's appt. Dr Lara did sealant work on her teeth (4 different teeth). My daughter has had major dental work with Dr Lara and she was extremely calm and cooperative. She was distracted with the TV show up above and procedures were seamless.
For this appt, she was not happy and she was very uncomfortable with the mouth piece. She started crying and Dr Lara immediately thought of a 2nd option that calmed my daughter's nerves. I was so appreciative of Dr Lara's quick maneuver to continue with the appt and my daughter was able to listen to her and finish the appt. My family and I are so thankful for Dr Lara. She is so good at what she does!!

What an incredible way to start kids off feeling great about dental health! Dr. Lara and her staff were just delightful. So kind, considerate, and compassionate at every single turn. The office is bright and spacious with lots of kid friendly toys and details to look at. There is a "baby room" with baby/toddler friendly toys, a very comfortable glider, and big windows for viewing some of the dental equipment. There is even a sweet little fairy door with coins for the toys in the machines at the door. Dr. Lara was so considerate of Theo and how he was feeling so we took some breaks in between her exam and demonstrations for brushing and flossing. I loved the way Dr. Lara explained everything too - very clear and easy to understand with enough detail to feel like I know what to look for and not so much that I am swimming in information overload. She had some great informational sheets about toothpaste and great tips/tricks. I can already tell that this will be a place Theo feels comfortable and safe in as he grows up. Definitely check out Dr. Toothfairy!!

Dr. Saleh and her staff are great! It was our first visit to get a second opinion and my daughter loved her (considering she generally does not like to go to dentists, it is a big deal for us). On top of their great attitude towards my daughter and us, she saved us from drilling multiple teeth by suggesting to apply something else. She will probably be our permanent dentist! Thank you!

This was the most incredible dentist experience my children and i have had. My children were treated like Gold. This appointment was the first appointment my autistic son ever made it through. I came in with so much anxiety and left so filled with so much gratitude 🥹. My son has had the most awful experiences at other dentist offices and it has been so hard to watch that as his mother. We literally have been to 6 other offices. He has a procedure coming up that I have been dreading and literally have had nightmares about, knowing now that it will be with Dr.Toothfairy I am at ease. Thank you so much to Dr.Toothfairy and her incredible staff.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! My daughter is 5YO and has difficulty with a lot of things sensory. Going to the dentist was always a difficulty for her, no matter how much we prepped and talked about it. After searching for a new dentist, I came across the page for Dr. Toothfairy. I knew immediately that we found the right location when they called to get to know me and my daughter and asked "What's her favorite TV show so we can have it ready?" I knew right then that we were in good hands and that they put the children first. We arrived at the office. It's nice, bright, and spacious. There's a little arcade machine and musical toys. They have something for every child to like. Dr. Lara was so sweet and patient with my daughter and all of the staff were so helpful and friendly while they explained the whole process. I don't want to give all of the surprises away because you should be able to experience it yourself, but I would highly recommend any parent with children to go to Dr. Toothfairy. I've already scheduled my 3YO for her first appointment to take place in February. You'll have peace of mind knowing that your child is in good hands with Dr. Lara and her team.

It was the first time taking my kids there. They loved it great atmosphere and staff. Everyone was super friendly and very patient. My kids asked to have this place as their regular dentist. I thought the welcome sign with my kiddos name was so cute.

Dr. Lara and her staff are AMAZING! From the initial contact by phone through the greeting and appointment itself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The experience was beyond what I expected. The day before I had booked with another office but the whole experience was horrible; immediately after checking in, we cancelled the appointment due to unprofessional staff. So when we rescheduled to Dr. Lara’s office, I imagined anything was better than what we experienced with the other dentist. I am actually glad it all led us to finding Dr. Lara because she gave us a complete 360 and completely better experience, much better than we expected. She is very friendly with children and her staff is so kind and patient. I will be bringing my other children here. Every inch of the office is decorated with children in mind. Super clean and kid friendly. Lots of fun things appealing to children. Please consider this place for your children’s needs!

My four year old had an exceptional experience at Dr. Toothfairy. From being greeted at the door with a sign that had her name on it and the fairy doors that were found around the office to the gentlest of care during her cleaning and X-rays, I cannot imagine going anywhere else for her dental care! Thank you to Dr. Lara and her staff for making us feel comfortable and listening to our questions with patience and providing evidence-based answers.

I have to honestly say, from the moment I walked into the welcoming environment until the end of the visit was the most refreshing visit ever! My son has literally been to every dentist in Falls Church and has been traumatized. We FINALLY made it through an entire visit with his full cooperation! I am so happy I met Dr.Solehs assistant at 7’11, we finally found our Dental Home! 🦷 Yes they have a party room for the kids! 💙

I can't say enough great things about Dr.Lara at Dr.Toothfairy and their dental practice in Falls Church. From the moment I walked through the door, Me and my son felt welcomed and cared for. The entire experience was top-notch.
Friendly Staff:
First and foremost, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. They made my son feel at ease, which is not something I typically associate with a dental visit. She's not only highly skilled but also takes the time to explain procedures, answer questions, and ensure you're comfortable every step of the way.
Clean & High Skill Staff:
The clinic is modern and spotlessly clean, I appreciate their commitment to a safe and hygienic environment, especially in these times.
Space for Kids:
There plenty of space for kids, and some game station for they to relax.
They go above and beyond to ensure minimal discomfort and maximum results.
Easy to book and accept many insurances:
For me Ameritas Dental Care Insurance.
I can't believe we are going through next business day for the appointment.
Scheduling appointments is a breeze, and I've never had to wait long to be seen. They respect your time, which I truly appreciate.
If you're looking for a dental care provider in Falls Church, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr.Lara at DR.Toothfairy and her team. They provide excellent care in a warm and welcoming environment. I'm so grateful to have found them!

Just had our first appointment at Dr Toothfairy and it was so great! I had the most pleasant front desk phone calls with them when confirming my appointment (they even moved my appt for nap time!) and they were just as nice in person. You can tell they care about making it fun for the kids and a special experience for first visits :)

Dr. Lara is a MUST GO! Her and her team are top notch. We were greeted at the top of the steps with a welcome sign with my daughter's name on it and Dr. Lara was there to welcome and introduce herself. My daughter was nervous but, was immediately smiling and laughing. I will tell everyone to take their kiddos to them!!!! Each chair is equipped with a tv and they ask the child's favorite show and put it on for them. Top notch all around!

We had the most wonderful experience. The dentist was very thorough and showed us all the results of both my sons’ exams. We loved the personalization of the experience - from having their names on the front board to letting them pick out a show to watch. They love coming to the dentist!

This was absolutely the best experience we could have hoped for. Our son had never been to the dentist (2y/o) and fell and chipped his tooth. Despite never having been to the practice, they took us in first thing in the morning. From entry into the office, to exit, the experience was wonderful. The whole team was so courteous, child-centered, and compassionate. Dr Lara was so comforting in addressing the emergency, and carefully explaining everything. Our son was so well taken care of. We will never go anywhere else.

Extremely professional, gentle with the kiddos, super friendly and everyone takes time to explain everything! Will def be back and the only place I’ll recommend! Also Dr. Saleh and staff were amazing with my autistic son who it 3.5.. and not the greatest at brushing his teeth.

Dr. Lara, her staff, and her office are warm and welcoming. My daughter had an accident on her scooter over the weekend and our regular dentist was on vacation. Other dentists would not see her for over a week. Dr. Lara took us the day I called and did a thorough exam. She answered all of my questions and made my daughter feel very comfortable. Thank you, Dr. Lara!

We love Dr. Toothfairy! She is the best. I have an 11 and 8 year old who were due for regular cleanings but my previous dentist never mentioned putting sealants on their permanent teeth. Both got sealants and walked out with a great big smile on their face. Process was easy and seamless and staff super friendly. Thank you Dr. Toothfairy and team for making it an enjoyable experience!

Dr. Lara had such a peaceful welcoming office, for children and for parents. You can tell she really puts her heart into her practice in every area. My son has had a few bad experiences with other dentist so he was very nervous to go, but she made him feel at home and comfy, with no pressure towards him or myself. From my experience she has more of an holistic approach which I appreciate. I wish she would take on adults because I would love to have her as my own dentist. Thank you dr. Lara and staff❤️

We won't be back to Dr. Toothfairy. After scheduling months in advance and reconfirming several times in the weeks leading up to our appointment, Dr. Toothfairy's office called on the day of our appointment to let us know our insurance (United Concordia) was now considered "out of network" and the out of pocket cost would be something like $180 per kid for exam/cleaning. Sad to leave a negative review, but this was extremely unprofessional. They could have let us know literally any time in the last 6 months that this was the case. What a pain.

Fantastic experience! Brought my 4 year old here and I'm honestly a little jealous that I can’t come here too!
Making an appointment was very easy, all the form filling can be done online before going in which speeds everything up. Warm welcome from Ali put my daughter at ease. They have tons of kid friendly touches, fairy doors, toys, games, video games and glow in the dark room!!
Dr. Lara the dentist was fantastic. Really knowledgeable and lots of practical advice given in an easy to digest manner. X-rays are done in office and the whole cleaning/check up was very gentle. She checked how my daughter was tolerating everything lots of times, asked her if she wanted to have her top teeth or bottom teeth cleaned first etc. my kid got to watch tv during the exam also.
They accept all insurances and I really cannot say anything negative. If you're looking for a great local dentist then try this place- let me know if they start taking adult patients!!

Dr. Lara made our son’s first dental appointment very special, low stress, professional, caring, and informative. She listened to our concerns and shared research findings to help us develop a great care plan. The office is beautiful and fun and the approach to oral hygiene supports emotional well-being. Loved the Toothfairy “secret” doors around the office! I am so glad our son will continue his care with Dr. Toothfairy!

Our son Owen had his first ever Dentist appointment here and we could not have been more pleased. From start to finish everyone at the office made sure Owen was comfortable, excited and ready to go. They offered multiple areas for his first cleaning and made sure to slow down the process to talk Mom and Fad through as well.
They did not stop with the cleaning! Once he was done, he had the chance to walk and get a “prize” and take a “my first dentist appointment picture”
I would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a dentist for their kids!

Coming to Dr.Lara was a dream come true for my 2y old son’s first dental visit. I was so worried about my son crying and making a fit. He was actually so happy I was so surprised. He mingled and laughed with the doctor and staff. Dr lara put my son at ease by showing him what to expect and making him laugh about it. When he left the office the whole time he kept showing his teeth to the whole family and smiling and saying I want to go to the dentist again. Not only is everyone nice but also the office is clean and beautifully set up, very kid friendly.
Thank you

Awesome experience and top-notch service with Dr Lara Saleh! I had brought in my 5-year-old twins to get some cavities filled, and at first, I was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure how my kids would do. I can only say that Dr. Lara did an excellent job. She made everything fun and kid-friendly and made the entire experience non-stressful. I would highly recommend Dr. Lara and the team. Congratulations on your new location in Falls Church!!

Dr Lara is simply the best. Our entire extended family relies on her for all (eight) of our kids’ dental needs. They range in age from less than a year old to the oldest who is now in high school. She is a master of her craft, and makes us all (parents and kids alike) feel like we are in the most capable hands regardless of what we come to her for.
When we moved to McLean, we used to drive almost 40 minutes to see her—but now that she has her own office in Falls Church, it’s a less than 10 minute drive. Her new office is so wonderful. It even has a room especially for babies and infants. Congratulations Dr Lara, we are thrilled to be your patients!

Dr Lara is everything that a pediatric dentist should be. She is diligent, knowledgeable and cares deeply about each and every one of her patients. Our family is very fortunate to have had her as our dentist since both of our kids were born. Our daughter often tells us that she wants to grow up to be a kids' dentist, "just like Dr Lara" :)
Most importantly, she is the most capable dental professional I have come across in my life--which is what I value most for my kids. She takes the time to explain everything to us in detail and makes the experience fun for our family. We are delighted that she has her own office now in Falls Church, and to be able to count on her to keep our kids healthy and smiling.
