Dr. Sharon Essner

A small-family practice sharing the quiet strip with accountants and wireless shops, Dr. Sharon Essner hangs her shingle at 1109 Old Country Rd, Plainview, NY 11803. Pediatric dentistry here moves at the pace of childhood—cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants share space on the schedule with first-visit exams, digital X-rays, and night-guard fittings for teens.

Parents dial (516) 931-7171 to link oral hygiene check-ups, fillings on baby molars, and space-maintainer guidance for lost primary teeth. Earlier this fall the office started offering silver diamine fluoride visits for kids reluctant to sit still, and parents appreciate the add-on less than an hour from the expressway.

If the late-afternoon traffic by Wolfer’s Deli is a clue, the neighborhood is one where families bank, get haircuts, and keep teeth in one eighteen-minute loop—use the map to cut straight through Industrial Row.
