At DC Pediatric Smiles our motto is simple: Laugh. Grow. Smile. Step into our office and you’ll be immersed in the bright, clean, beach house vibe of coastal California. Kids love our fun, upbeat approach to pediatric dentistry. Parents appreciate our strict safety precautions including curbside check-in, staggered scheduling, and contactless reception. As a father of three young kids, I understand the importance of connecting with all my patients to ensure their first impression of the dentist is positive. Coming into the dental setting understandably can be intimidating and scary for kids (and parents too). Our team is talented at easing any fear through their laidback, calm and confident approach to care. That’s how we’ve been crushing sugar bugs since 2017. I founded DC Pediatric Smiles on the principles of celebrating diversity and service to the greater community. In particular, patients with autism and children with unique medical needs find a comforting home at DC Pediatric Smiles. We are so fortunate to be located in such a dynamic, diverse region of the country. Our team strives to provide fun, kid-friendly dentistry in a positive setting to all families to build healthy, happy smiles for a lifetime.

As one of the most highly trained and accomplished periodontists in the Bethesda area, Dr. Eskow takes pride in helping unhealthy patients achieve better overall health by improving their oral health and oral health habits. He does everything he can to make even the most apprehensive patients feel at ease by always breaking down and explaining periodontal and dental implant treatment options in a way that is easy to understand. This enables patients to make informed decisions about their dental and implant health. Most gratifying is building long-lasting relationships with his patients that are built on trust. Dr. Eskow is a graduate of the University of Maryland where he earned his Bachelors, Masters, and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees.
