“Loved By Kids, Trusted By Parents”

Dr. Rishita Jaju, is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist, and founder of Smile Wonders in Reston, VA. She is a Harvard trained mommy dentist, a TEDx speaker, author and a published expert in Pediatric Laser Dentistry.

Dr. Rishita’s expertise in laser dentistry and passion for infant oral health have come from her experience in providing care for thousands of infants, toddlers and children with feeding difficulties over the last 15+ years. She is one of the few pediatric dentists in the country who has achieved Advanced Laser Proficiency Certification and Mastership Status from the Academy of Laser Dentistry as well as Breastfeeding Specialist Certification from Lactation Educational Resources.

Her service as the chief resident and visiting faculty at Children’s National Medical center, the Council of Clinical Affairs for American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and as a part of the Examination Committee of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, has given her a unique opportunity to have a positive influence on her profession. When it comes to research and publications her work can be found in peer reviewed journals on topics of pediatric dental care for patients with special healthcare needs, behavior guidance, esthetic dentistry, pain management and lasers in dentistry. Her numerous live and virtual training to introduce the benefits of laser applications have been well received by her colleagues in general dentistry, pediatricians, lactation consultants, speech pathologists and other allied healthcare professionals.

Each year she participates in Give Kids a Smile initiative to provide pro bono care for children of Northern Virginia in an effort to give back to her community.

Dr. Rishita and her husband are both proud UGA bulldogs who adore their son and their 2 Maltese doggies named Kaju and Kulfi. They have traveled together all over the world and have visited every continent (except Antarctica).
