Capital Kids Dentistry

Dr. Jessica and Mrs. Stephanie were amazing with my two and a half year old! They made the dentist fun! They showed him all the tools ahead of time, and Dr. Jessica sang while she cleaned. I am so impressed and happy my son has a positive dentist experience.

Dr. Jessica is a wonderful pediatric dentist in DC! My daughter is only 2 years-​old and had some staining on her teeth from iron supplements. Dr. Jessica and her staff had my daughter practice brushing a stuffed alligator’s teeth (education) and through songs and other techniques, made her feel comfortable. Despite some tears through the cleaning, Dr. Jessica managed to get all the staining off of our daughter’s teeth in one quick visit. The office is very modern and clean, with a fun play area for kids. Our daughter was so excited to get her token for the prize machine at the end of her visit. She even high-​fived Dr. Jessica before we left. Dr. Jessica is brilliant with kids and an excellent dentist. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

We had such a great experience here — brought my 16 month old in for his first check-​up. Great office vibe with lots of bright colors and fun waiting room toys, although we only waited a few minutes (we arrived a little early) before being seen right on time. Dr. Jessica took time to answer all of my questions and talk me through what to expect in terms of teeth, brushing, flossing over the next few years. It’s also really conveniently located and they validate your parking so it’s pretty inexpensive to park in the building, although there is street parking too. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Jessica if you need a pediatric dentist!

Dr. Jessica was great! She really made the experience fun for my 2.5 year old and I learned a lot about dental health for kids as well.

We really recommend Dr. Rubin. Our kids (5 and 2) are so excited about their visit to see her that they are still — 4 days later — «competing» against each other to show me who is better at flossing! It was the younger one’s first visit to the dentist and she is so excited to go back in a few months to see Dr. Rubin again — more than relieved, I am thrilled. Clearly this was a positive and educational experience for the kids, and as parents we feel we got great guidance and information about things we can improve upon for our kids’ dental health. Thanks also for very quickly accommodating a reschedule because of Snow-​Zilla!

We could not be happier with Dr. Jessica! She is fantastic. She’s got little ones of her own so she knows exactly what types of attitudes the kids can pull when they go to the doctor or dentist, and she works hard to distract them while doing what she needs. They are a fantastic office, brand new, and I look forward to having our children see her for years to come.

Took both the 5-​year-​old and 1.5 year-​old there, and the kids actually left happy and smiling. Dr. Jessica took her time getting to know them, explaining things to them and to me, and generally putting them at ease. Not only was she super friendly — my son calls her «The Happy Doctor» — she was somehow able to conduct an exam on my daughter, who won’t even let me brush her teeth, without having her fingers bitten off!
The office is clean, bright, and spacious. The kids obviously loved it, since it took the promise of ice cream to get them out of there. (Sorry, Dr. Jessica.)

I can’t speak more highly of Dr. Jessica. She has an amazing bedside manner, subtly educates both parents and kids about everyday dental care and is able to keep kids calm and engaged. We went to see Dr. Jessica for my daughter’s first check-​up and it was incredible! She sang and talked to my daughter throughout the appointment and showed her all of her instruments and explained what they were for. This kept my daughter calm and even got her excited. She left ready to use her new toothbrush and floss… she still talks about the visit. Dr. Jessica is the best– we are (actually) looking forward to many more appointments with her! Plus, her office is gorgeous and she hands out great «prizes» for the kids after check-​ups. Go see her!!!

This was my daughter’s first dental visit, at age 2. Dr. Jessica came highly recommended and I really appreciated that she took our insurance.
First — it feels like Dr. Jessica is born to be in this profession. She puts on the cheery charm for kids, pulling out all the stops to make them feel at ease. My daughter was very into the ‘bells and whistles’ of the practice — learning how to brush teeth with a huge, happy dragon and her new rubber ducky were certainly highlights. With that said — my daughter was not an easy patient. She screamed for the majority of the cleaning but Dr. Jessica breezed right through and wasn’t rattled by an unhappy toddler.
Secondly — the space is BEAUTIFUL. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into creating a modern, hip, warm space for kids to enter into. Minor compared to the actual care but still really nice.
I would DEFINITELY recommend Dr. Jessica!
