Meet Dr. Michelle Chik

Dr. Michelle Chik brings a wealth of specialized training and heartfelt dedication to children's dental health at Little Chik Pediatric Dentistry. After completing her undergraduate degree in Human Nutrition, Fitness, and Exercise at Virginia Tech, Dr. Chik earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Howard University.

Board Certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Chik combines her technical expertise with a warm, engaging approach that puts even the most anxious children at ease. Born and raised in Taiwan before moving to Fairfax in high school, Dr. Chik brings a multicultural perspective to her practice and is fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

Our Nurturing Nest: Where Comfort Meets Cutting-Edge Care

At Little Chik Pediatric Dentistry, we've carefully crafted an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and even excited about dental visits. Our office features a playful yet calming atmosphere with TVs at each dental chair, a vibrant play area with games and books, and specially designed rooms for infants and children with sensory sensitivities. Each detail of our practice has been thoughtfully selected to create a positive experience that helps children build happy memories of the dentist that last a lifetime.

Our team shares Dr. Chik's passion for pediatric dental care, approaching each child with patience, understanding, and genuine warmth. We take pride in creating relationships with our young patients and their families, getting to know each child's unique personality and needs. Our office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology including digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, soft tissue lasers, and painless injection systems with Soan – all designed to provide the most comfortable, efficient care possible for our little patients.

Specialized Care for Every Stage of Childhood

Little Chik Pediatric Dentistry offers comprehensive dental services tailored specifically to children from infancy through adolescence. Our preventive approach focuses on education, early intervention, and establishing healthy habits that last a lifetime. We excel in providing gentle restorative care when needed, using tooth-colored materials and specialized pediatric techniques to restore function and aesthetics while keeping children comfortable.

As a practice dedicated to serving all children, we take special pride in our expertise with special needs patients, offering sensory-friendly accommodations and adaptable care approaches. For children experiencing dental anxiety or requiring more extensive treatment, we provide sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and, when appropriate, treatment under general anesthesia at NOVA Children's Surgery Center where Dr. Chik maintains privileges. Our practice also specializes in frenectomies for tongue and lip ties, using advanced laser technology for more comfortable procedures and faster healing times. From routine checkups to specialized treatments, every service at Little Chik Pediatric Dentistry is delivered with gentle expertise and a child-centered approach.
