Sponsored by BRS Backyard Bug Busters ›Specialized children's dentistry serving Hewitt, NJ and the Greenwood Lake community, Monday through Friday.
Dr. Farideh Golestani brings focused pediatric dental expertise to 1950 Greenwood Lake Turnpike in Hewitt, a quieter corner of Passaic County where families don't always have easy access to specialized children's care. Her practice is part of the Golestani Dental Group, meaning young patients benefit from a coordinated team approach rather than a solo practitioner working in isolation.
Pediatric dentistry is its own discipline. Children's teeth, jaws, and anxieties are fundamentally different from adults', and a specialist who has trained specifically in managing those differences can make the gap between a child who dreads the dentist and one who leaves waving goodbye. The office hours, Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, are designed to accommodate school schedules, making afternoon appointments a practical fit for most families in the Hewitt and West Milford area.
The practice covers the full range of preventive and restorative care that children need from toddlerhood through adolescence. If you have questions about what to expect at a first visit or how a specific procedure is handled, the Golestani Dental Group website at golestanidentalgroup.com offers additional background on the team and their approach.
Pediatric dental care at this practice spans the full arc of a child's dental development. Preventive cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants form the foundation, helping young teeth stay cavity-free before problems start. When cavities do develop, tooth-colored fillings restore teeth with minimal discomfort and no visible metal.
For more complex needs, the practice offers pulp therapy (the pediatric equivalent of a root canal, sized and scoped for baby teeth), stainless steel and tooth-colored crowns for badly damaged teeth, and extractions when a tooth cannot be saved. Space maintainers are available to hold the gap after an early tooth loss, protecting the alignment of permanent teeth as they emerge.
Orthodontic screening is also part of routine care here, so developmental concerns are flagged early rather than discovered years later. The afternoon scheduling window means most of these appointments can happen after school, keeping disruptions to a minimum for both kids and working parents.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish a baseline and let children get comfortable in the dental chair before any real work is needed.
The practice is open Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The office is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
