Children’s Dentistry in Little Neck, NY

Gentle & Compassionate Dental Care for Kids

At Preferred Dental Care in Little Neck, NY, we understand that your child’s smile is precious. Our children’s dentistry services are designed to create positive dental experiences and build strong oral health habits from the very beginning. From routine cleanings to cavity prevention and beyond, we make sure every visit is stress-free, fun, and educational.

When Should My Child See a Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by age one or within six months of their first tooth erupting. At our Little Neck dental office, we regularly see children as young as three years old for independent checkups. However, we encourage parents to bring younger kids along to their own visits so they can get used to the sights and sounds of the dental office in a comfortable way—what we like to call a “Happy Visit.”

Why Are Kids’ Dental Checkups Important?

Regular dental checkups for children help:

  • Detect cavities early before they become painful or severe
  • Monitor proper growth and development of teeth and jaws
  • Educate kids on proper brushing and flossing habits
  • Prevent gum disease and other oral health issues

Our dentists may also recommend fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and dental sealants to protect hard-to-reach molars from decay. These preventive treatments are safe, quick, and highly effective at reducing cavities in children.
