Little Roots Membership Plan
For families in East Meadow, finding a pediatric dentist who truly connects with children can make the difference between a child who dreads dental visits and one who looks forward to them. When young patients feel heard, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, those early experiences shape a lifetime of healthy habits. Every parent deserves a dental home that treats their child as an individual, not just another appointment on the schedule.
At Little Roots Pediatric Dental, we provide that kind of care to families across Nassau County, including East Meadow, from our welcoming Westbury office. Dr. Jessica Barzideh and Dr. Sunaina Vohra are board-certified pediatric dentists with deep roots in Long Island who bring clinical precision and genuine compassion to every visit. Whether your child is coming in for their very first appointment or returning for ongoing care, our team is ready to build the relationship your family can count on for years to come.
Pediatric dentists complete two to three additional years of residency training beyond dental school, focused exclusively on the oral health needs of children from infancy through adolescence. This training covers far more than technique. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, that preparation includes anticipatory guidance, early caries risk assessment, and behavioral management strategies that help children thrive in the dental setting from their very first visit.
This background matters because children’s teeth, jaw structure, and oral development change rapidly and require a trained eye to assess accurately. A pediatric dentist is equipped to identify developmental concerns early, coordinate appropriate preventive care, and communicate treatment plans in ways that make both children and their parents feel confident and informed at every stage.
East Meadow families who come to Little Roots find a full spectrum of pediatric dental care available in a single, child-centered practice. From a child’s first tooth through adolescence, our board-certified pediatric dentists provide continuity of care that supports healthy development at every stage. We tailor every treatment plan to the individual child’s needs, age, and temperament.
The services available to East Meadow families include:
Each of these services is provided in a practice environment designed with children in mind, where our team works to make every visit feel positive and productive from the moment you walk in.
When families from East Meadow visit Little Roots Pediatric Dental, they find more than a dentist who is good with kids. Dr. Jessica Barzideh has served as an attending dentist at an NYU-HHC affiliate hospital, teaching the next generation of pediatric dental residents while maintaining her own private practice grounded in prevention and early intervention. Her clinical focus includes pediatric sleep apnea and its connection to oral development, meaning she evaluates far more than tooth decay at every appointment. Dr. Sunaina Vohra, who served as chief resident at the Woodhull Medical Center Pediatric Dental Program in Brooklyn, brings a particular interest in pediatric airway dentistry and frenum attachments. Having experienced dental anxiety as a child herself, she approaches every nervous young patient with genuine empathy and a personal commitment to making their experience a positive one.
Together, Dr. Barzideh and Dr. Vohra lead a practice built around the idea that every child deserves individualized, compassionate care. For families with children who have special health care needs, our team adapts every aspect of treatment to meet those unique requirements. We accept most major insurance plans and offer an in-house membership plan for families seeking a flexible, cost-effective alternative, ensuring that exceptional pediatric dental care remains accessible to every family in East Meadow and surrounding Nassau County communities.
Little Roots Pediatric Dental is located in Westbury, a short drive from East Meadow. We make the first visit as easy as possible for both parents and children. For infants and toddlers, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental appointment around a child’s first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting. These early visits help us establish a baseline, catch potential issues before they grow more complex, and help young children build familiarity with the dental environment in a low-stakes, positive setting.
For first-time patients of any age, we encourage families to review our first visit resources and reach out with any questions ahead of time. You can learn more about the doctors your child will see by visiting our team page. We take the time to listen before we ever pick up an instrument, and we welcome every family as a long-term partner in their child’s oral health.
Every child who comes through our doors deserves care that addresses their individual needs and helps them build a positive relationship with their own oral health. Dr. Barzideh and Dr. Vohra are board-certified pediatric dentists who combine clinical depth with genuine warmth, and their team is committed to making each visit better than the last. From East Meadow and throughout Nassau County, Little Roots is the practice families return to year after year because their children actually want to come back.
We welcome new patients from East Meadow and surrounding communities and accept most major insurance plans. When you are ready to get started, we invite you to contact our office to schedule your child’s first appointment with Little Roots Pediatric Dental.
