Little Roots Membership Plan
Finding a pediatric dentist your child actually looks forward to seeing can be difficult, especially in a tight-knit village like East Williston where word of mouth still matters and families expect a personal touch. Too many dental offices feel clinical and rushed, leaving kids anxious and parents frustrated before the appointment even begins. The right pediatric dentist makes every visit feel calm, welcoming, and worthwhile for both the child and the adult who brings them in.
At Little Roots Pediatric Dental, we welcome families from East Williston and across Nassau County from our Westbury office. Our board-certified pediatric dentists, Dr. Jessica Barzideh and Dr. Sunaina Vohra, bring focused pediatric training and genuine warmth to every appointment, along with a real commitment to building oral health habits that last. Whether your child needs a first exam or help managing dental anxiety, our team meets them exactly where they are.
Pediatric dentists are not general dentists who also see children. They complete an additional two to three years of residency training after dental school, focused exclusively on the oral health needs of infants, children, teenagers, and patients with special health care needs. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, pediatric dentists provide both primary and advanced care for children, playing a distinct role in preventive education, early intervention, and treatment across every stage of childhood development.
This extra training matters when it comes to managing growing smiles. Children’s teeth, jaws, and oral tissues develop differently than adults’, and a pediatric dentist is trained to catch subtle developmental concerns early, before they become bigger problems. At Little Roots, Dr. Barzideh and Dr. Vohra pair this clinical training with a patient, child-focused communication style that helps even nervous young patients feel at ease.
East Williston families who choose Little Roots Pediatric Dental have access to a full range of dental care for kids of every age, all delivered from one welcoming office. We tailor every treatment plan to the individual child rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
The services we provide for East Williston families include:
Each of these services is delivered in an environment built for children, with a team trained to communicate at every child’s level. We accept many dental insurance plans and offer an in-house membership plan for families who want a flexible alternative, so cost does not stand between your child and good dental care in East Williston.
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons children avoid the dentist, and it is entirely manageable with the right approach. Dr. Barzideh and Dr. Vohra both use a patient, unhurried communication style at every appointment, relying on age-appropriate language and positive reinforcement so children feel in control of their own visit. Dr. Vohra remembers feeling anxious about dental visits as a child herself, which shapes how she connects with nervous young patients today.
For children who need extra support, sedation options are available alongside our regular preventive and restorative services. We also have real experience caring for children with special health care needs, adjusting our approach so every child from East Williston receives thoughtful, individualized care.
Choosing a dental home for your child is one of the more important decisions you will make as a parent, and we do not take that trust lightly. Dr. Barzideh has served as an attending dentist teaching pediatric dental residents at an NYU-HHC affiliate hospital and has a particular clinical interest in pediatric sleep apnea and its connection to oral development. Dr. Vohra completed her residency training at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn, where she served as chief resident. Together, they bring real depth of experience to families across Nassau County, including East Williston.
Little Roots Pediatric Dental is located inside Smile On Westbury at 265 Post Avenue, Suite 380, about 10 minutes from East Williston via Old Country Road and East Williston Avenue. We keep Saturday hours in addition to select weekdays, which helps busy parents avoid pulling kids out of school for routine visits. To learn more about our doctors, visit Dr. Barzideh’s profile and Dr. Vohra’s profile. When your family is ready, contact our office to schedule your child’s first appointment.
