Pediatric dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include: preventive services — helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services — receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services — performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding – even porcelain veneers. Pediatric dentists also address overall health concerns, as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa.

As a member of the Washington DC community, Dr. Dean-Duru gives back through philanthropic initiatives. In Loudon County, Virginia, Dr. Dean-Duru participated in Dental Awareness Month by offering oral health and dental screenings and pro bono dental care to children in need. She is a part of Dentistry from the Heart, an organization that has provided over $90,000 in free dental care to children in Loudoun County.
