Metropolitan Pediatric Dentistry: Ricardo A. Perez DDS, PC

Metropolitan Pediatric Dentistry, led by Dr. Ricardo A. Perez DDS PC, is a pediatric dental practice located at 5530 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1230, in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The practice focuses exclusively on dental care for children and adolescents, serving young patients from Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and the broader Washington D.C. metropolitan area.

Pediatric dentistry requires an approach tailored to the developmental stages of children’s teeth and to the particular needs of young patients. The practice provides age-appropriate dental examinations, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants—protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help prevent cavities in children who are still developing consistent brushing habits.

Early dental visits establish a foundation for lifelong oral health. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental visit by age one or when the first tooth appears. Regular checkups at pediatric practices help monitor tooth development, jaw growth, and early signs of orthodontic concerns, allowing for timely intervention when needed.

New patient families can contact the practice by phone to schedule appointments and ask about what to expect during an initial visit. The office lists regular hours for scheduling convenience.

The practice is located on the 12th floor of a professional building on Wisconsin Avenue—a central Chevy Chase address with proximity to Bethesda Metro and easy access from Northwest Washington D.C., Kensington, and Rockville.
