Piedmont Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Barrett W. R. Peters grew up in Charlottesville and graduated from Hampden-Sydney College. He spent a few years working prior to deciding to pursue career in dentistry and completing the necessary prerequisites. He received a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and continued at VCU to complete a post-doctoral Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) and residency in the specialty of pediatric dentistry. During his speciality training, Dr. Peters was selected as the annual Samuel D. Harris Research and Policy Fellow by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and his research was subsequently published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.

Dr. Peters has served in many leadership roles within organized dentistry at both the state and national levels, including as President of the Virginia Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Peters is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist) and a Fellow of the AAPD (FAAPD), American College of Dentists (FACD), and International College of Dentists (FICD). He currently serves as an Affiliate Professor within the VCU Department of Pediatric Dentistry and is an Official National Spokesperson for the AAPD.

After operating a multi-location private practice for a decade, Dr. Peters joined forces with Children’s Dentistry of Charlottesville in 2023 and is grateful to continue to serve the families of this wonderful area. In his free time, he can be found traveling or spending time with his family and their English Labrador Retriever somewhere between Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay.
