Plainview Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

What does a pediatric dentist do beyond the basics? They guide the first set of grown-up teeth into place—sometimes before they even appear. Plainview Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics sits at the edge of Nassau County’s busy strip; you’ll find it right on 1109 Old Country Road in Plainview, NY 11803. The office treats infants through teenagers, handling cavities, space maintenance, and interceptive orthodontics; digital X-rays and intraoral cameras spare the youngest patients from guesswork. Many of their patients return for interceptive braces that start in two phases, saving later rounds of hardware; space maintainers keep baby teeth from crowding the path for adult ones. Early oral-habit counseling—thumb, tongue, and lip habits—often prevents palatal expanders down the line. Some kids need frenectomies to free a tight lip or tongue tie; others arrive for custom mouth guards before soccer season. Need an appointment before the next school break? Call (516) 931-7171 and ask about the new-patient forms you can preview online. The practice sees emergencies the same day when possible, so parents don’t have to juggle after-hours referrals. No referral paperwork is needed for routine checkups or orthodontic screens—just an insurance card and a quick stop at the front desk. Map it once and you’re set—no surprises. Find directions at the block-long stretch of Old Country Road between Manetto and Broadway. One right turn between the deli and the auto shop, and you’re there.
