We are dedicated to offering comprehensive care for patients of all ages, and that means your children receive the personalized care they need to achieve and maintain optimal oral health for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles. Unlike dental practices that only offer pediatric dental care, Dix Hills Family Dentistry offers care for your childs smile at every age and stage in development. No need to change practices once they reach their teens. Our comfortable practice and trusted dentists and staff are here for your childs smile from day one.
The foundation of good oral health is preventative dental check-ups twice per year. During these preventative visits, we will examine your childs teeth, clean and polish their teeth, and educate them on how to maintain optimal levels of oral health between visits. Some of our other preventive services for kids include:
In addition to preventive dental care for your child, our board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Soni, has the education and experience to provide more advanced dental care for growing and developing smiles. Dr. Soni has extensive training in working with the unique behavioral challenges presented when treating children and individuals with special needs. We can also provide nitrous oxide analgesia for those who have complex treatment needs. Some of the pediatric services we offer include:
Yes, just like adults, children should regularly see their pediatric dentist in Dix Hills every six months. It is possible that depending on your childs oral health, they may be required to come in more frequently, but their initial visit should occur when their first baby tooth erupts or by the time they reach the age of one. This will allow your child to become more familiar with the sights, sounds, and smells of a dentists office as well as help us to build a positive relationship with them from the very beginning.
When your child is an infant, these comfort tactics are completely normal. Many babies turn to sucking their thumb or finger or using a pacifier in an effort to soothe themselves when upset. It can help them feel safe and comfortable. However, as your little one grows, the continued use of a pacifier or allowing them to continue sucking their thumb can have a negative impact on their oral health and jaw development. It is best to cease these non-nutritive habits by the time they are between the ages of 2 and 4. If you need help to identify ways to stop these bad habits, we will be happy to assist.
Yes! Your childs baby teeth serve as the foundation for their adult teeth that will likely begin to erupt starting around the age of six. While it is true that baby teeth will eventually just fall out, it is necessary they remain in place as long as possible. Should your child experience severe decay and have a primary tooth come out too early, it can cause nearby healthy teeth to shift out of alignment. This can create problems with their permanent teeth once they begin to erupt. This is why we offer space maintainers to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of alignment and causing more problems in the long run.

I started out taking my son to this office. The staff is so caring and nice. They always made us feel comfortable. My son loves going to the Dentist. I appreciate the friendliness, concern and knowledge of the Dentists so much that I switched and started going there as well. Also both my son and I always leave with a smile and raving reviews that my husband switched and will be going there as well. I recommend Dix Hills Family Dentistry if you are in need of Dentist and bring the whole family.

Our first visit to this wonderful cosy practice was excellent. Denise received us warmly. Hardly waited before I was whisked away by Amanda, the Hygienist. Amanda was impressive. She listened and did an excellent job doing the 'first visit' checks abd X-rays etc. My visit continued with Dr. Gaur. What a delightful experience!! Dr Gaur was also a fantastic listener. Since I had quite a few issues, he was very reassuring and allayed my fears. Thank you all. I look forward to a long relationship with your practice.

I've been coming here for years and am a HUGE fan of Dr. Gaur and his office. Super easy to book appointments and they handle all billing with insurance. Dr. Gaur is an excellent dentist -- could not recommend his practice more highly!
