Meet Dr. Keaney

Pediatric Dentistry | Orthodontist | Amy Light, DMD, PC | Potomac, MD

Specializes in Dentistry for Adolescents

I really consider myself lucky to genuinely enjoy what I do for a living. My career is a big part of who I am, in addition to being a mother, wife, and daughter. I get to interact with so many people and families on a day to day basis and that means a lot to me. Dentistry has come a long way in a short period of time. It is much more fun to go to the dentist now than when I was young and I am glad to be a part of that exciting change!

Good oral health is such an important component to overall health, and I enjoy educating the children that have placed their trust in me. I look forward to seeing each child return to the office, gaining confidence and growing as individuals.

Education and Continuing Education

Bachelor of Science in Biology, University of Scranton
Doctor of Dental Medicine, Temple University School of Dentistry

I love to learn, and I especially enjoy learning about all the new dental technology being developed. It's my goal to provide my patients with the best, most efficient care possible. I have attended continuing education courses in pediatric dentistry sponsored by the AAPD and have advanced training in laser dentistry.

In the Office

Many of our team members have been with us for several years, developing long-lasting, trusting relationships and helping us work well together. We all want children's dental experiences to be fun and enjoyable, and there's nothing better than having an office full of happy, smiling children!

Outside the Office

I currently reside in Arlington with my husband, Sean, our daughters, Emma and Lily, and our two labs, Charlotte and Isabel. I enjoy running and have even completed the Marine Corps Marathon in 2003 and 2005! I also love to go to the beach with my family and support local restaurants serving organic and delicious food.

Our family supports several charities such as the Smile Train, providing cleft palate surgeries for children in under privileged countries, the Humane Society, and the World Wildlife Fund. This summer we are helping to start a community garden at our daughter's school and are also active members of our parish, St. Agnes Catholic Church.
