Continuing Education
In 2005, Dr. Kildoo earned the prestigious Mastership Award (MAGD) from the Academy of General Dentistry—Only 1% of the 35,000 dentists in the AGD have achieved this coveted award. On average, a dentist committed to earning this award will take 10 to 15 years to pursue the necessary continuing education credit hours to achieve the MAGD. The Mastership is one of highest awards that the Academy of General Dentistry (the AGD is the primary professional association for general dentists) can confer upon a general dentist--the "Master" of the AGD (MAGD). When you see a dentist with MAGD after their name, you know they are truly dedicated to their profession.
This Mastership award means Dr. Kildoo has completed over 1100 credit hours of continuing education in over 17 separate dental disciplines. This award also demonstrates Dr. Kildoo's extraordinary commitment to being one of the best well-rounded dentist in her field, one who deeply cares about the long-term dental health of you and your family.
Today Dr. Kildoo continues her pursuit of excellence by attending the acclaimed UCLA Aesthetic Continuum, a one-of-a-kind, innovative course, in which world-renowned specialists in the area of cosmetic dentistry provide almost 100 lecture hours of continuing education on such wide-ranging subjects as treatment planning and esthetic enhancement.

Personal Bio:
Dr. Kildoo has practiced dentistry for over 26 years. For the first 14 years, she ran her own private practice in McLean, Virginia (across from the CIA!). Fortunately for our community, she has practiced in Green Valley for the last 12 years. She is married and has four children, one grandchild, one Jack Russell dog, and a quarter horse named Cayenne. She loves to hike, ride, and spend time with her family.
Professional Statement:
I want to help people keep their teeth for a lifetime, no matter what the age, and if they so choose. If they decide otherwise, I then want to help them figure out what option is best for them. I believe in "Complete Dentistry" which means evaluating the entire oral health of a person: jaw joints, chewing muscles, tooth health, existing dentistry, gum and surrounding bone health, and chewing habits. By using all this information, I can help a patient establish a comprehensive, personal plan to keep his or her teeth healthy for a lifetime.
