Hi there! I’m Dr. Krystle Dean-Duru, and with over two decades of experience in dentistry, I understand the importance of helping children grow, breathe, and sleep better. I specialize in providing empathetic care and personalized treatment plans to address pediatric patients’ airway, sleep, breathing, and growth concerns, ensuring their healthy smiles and bright futures. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Columbia University in New York in Psychology and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. I then completed a specialty pediatric residency training at the Interfaith Department of Dental Medicine in Brooklyn, New York, where I served in a leadership role as Chief Resident. My passion for caring for children runs deep in my ancestral roots, with family dentistry being a way of life. My mother, Dr. Lynda Dean-Duru, a pediatric dentist herself, was the first inspiration for me to pursue dentistry. Starting my career in family care, I worked as a pediatric dental assistant at Ashburn
