Little Roots Membership Plan
Mineola families searching for a pediatric dentist don’t have to look far. Little Roots Pediatric Dental is just minutes away in Westbury, and the care your child will find there is worth the short drive. Our board-certified pediatric dentists, Dr. Sunaina Vohra and Dr. Jessica Barzideh, have built a practice where children from across Nassau County, including Mineola, come for dental care that is calm, thorough, and genuinely child-centered.
Mineola sits at a natural crossroads of Nassau County, with families drawn from its neighborhoods, its schools, and the surrounding communities along Old Country Road. We know that parents here are busy, that schedules are tight, and that finding a provider your child actually looks forward to seeing matters. At Little Roots, we work hard to be that provider.
We recommend that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in, whichever comes first. For Mineola families bringing a child in for the first time, we start slow, keep the visit low-pressure, and focus on making the experience feel safe. Comprehensive exams at Little Roots include a full assessment of tooth development, bite, gum health, and airway — areas that matter not just for oral health but for your child’s overall development.
Professional cleanings remove buildup that home brushing and flossing cannot reach, and for children, they are also a chance to build a routine and a relationship with our team. Our hygienists are experienced with children of all ages and temperaments, from toddlers at their very first visit to older kids who have had difficult dental experiences in the past. We work at your child’s pace, explain every step along the way, and make sure they leave feeling good about what just happened.
Beyond exams and cleanings, Little Roots offers the full range of preventive and restorative services Mineola families may need — dental sealants, fluoride treatments, digital X-rays, space maintainers, tooth-colored fillings, zirconia crowns, airway-focused evaluations, and early orthodontic screening. For children who need support staying calm during treatment, nitrous oxide is available. We also work comfortably with children who have special healthcare needs, adapting our approach to fit each child’s individual situation.
Dr. Vohra is a board-certified pediatric dentist with a degree in molecular and cellular biology from Johns Hopkins University, dental training at the University of Pittsburgh, and a residency at the Woodhull Medical Center Pediatric Dental Program in Brooklyn, where she served as chief resident. Dr. Barzideh is a board-certified pediatric dentist with extensive experience in compassionate, prevention-focused care for children from infancy through adolescence. Together, they have built a practice where parents feel genuinely informed and children feel genuinely at ease.
Many insurance plans are accepted, and FSA and HSA funds can be applied toward treatment. We also offer an in-house membership plan for families without traditional insurance coverage.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Starting early allows our team to monitor development, address any concerns before they grow, and help your child build a positive relationship with dental care from the very beginning.
Yes. We make space for children with a wide range of special healthcare needs and adapt our approach for each child.
