A board-certified pediatric dentist for Manhasset families, an easy drive from the Miracle Mile

Parents across Manhasset, Munsey Park, Plandome and Manhasset Hills trust Paper Planes for gentle, fear-free dental care that kids actually look forward to.

Specialized care your kids will feel good about

Manhasset families are busy: school, travel teams, music lessons, and everything in between. Our Garden City office is about 15 to 20 minutes south (roughly 7 miles), and with Saturday and Sunday hours, dental visits fit around your week instead of the other way around.

We know Manhasset parents want a dentist with real pediatric expertise and a team that treats their child like a person, not an appointment. Dr. Pae is a board-certified pediatric dentist trained at Stony Brook, and he founded Paper Planes to pair modern dental technology with a calm, playful approach that helps kids feel seen and heard.

Parents are part of the journey from the first hello. We explain what we see, what we recommend and why, so you always leave with a clear plan and no surprises.

Sports injury or knocked-out tooth

Call right away

Sports injury or knocked-out tooth

A knocked-out tooth is a true dental emergency, and seeing your pediatric dentist within the first hour gives the best chance of a good outcome. Even injuries that seem minor can affect the tooth in ways that aren't visible right away, like damage to the nerve, the root, or the adult tooth developing underneath. A prompt exam helps catch these problems early and protect your child's smile for the long term.

Toothache or swelling

Call today

Toothache or swelling

A toothache can signal a cavity, infection, or something stuck between the teeth, and it rarely gets better on its own. Swelling in the face or gums, especially with fever, can mean an infection is spreading and should be seen right away. Early treatment relieves pain faster and helps avoid more involved care later.

Chipped tooth

Within a day

Chipped tooth

Even a small chip can leave sharp edges or expose the inner layers of the tooth, causing sensitivity or allowing bacteria in. Your pediatric dentist can smooth or repair the tooth and check for hidden damage to the nerve. If the chip is large or causing pain, call the office the same day.

Spots or discoloration on teeth

Within a few days

Spots or discoloration on teeth

White, brown, or dark spots can be early signs of decay, enamel changes, or past trauma to the tooth. Many of these are much easier to treat when caught early, sometimes without a filling at all. A visit helps determine the cause and the right next steps.

Baby tooth won't come out

Routine visit

Baby tooth won't come out

Sometimes a permanent tooth starts growing in before the baby tooth falls out, often creating a "double row" of teeth. Usually this isn't urgent, but your pediatric dentist can tell whether the baby tooth will loosen on its own or needs a little help. Addressing it early supports healthy spacing and alignment for the adult teeth.

Dental check-up or routine exam

Every six months

Dental check-up or routine exam

Regular checkups let us catch small problems before they become painful or costly. Cleanings, fluoride, and exams also keep your child comfortable in the dental chair and build healthy habits for life. Staying on a six-month schedule is one of the simplest ways to protect your child's smile.
Why choose a pediatric dentist instead of a family dentist in Manhasset?
A board-certified pediatric dentist like Dr. Pae completes additional specialized training focused only on children, including growth and development, behavior guidance and care for kids with special needs. Our entire office, from the lighting to the pace of each visit, is designed for kids.
Our families tell us yes. At about 15 to 20 minutes away with weekend hours, Paper Planes is often easier to fit into a busy schedule than an office closer to home that’s only open on school days.
That’s completely normal. Our team is trained to work gently with young children and move at their pace. Even a short, positive visit helps build trust and makes future appointments easier.
Yes. Baby teeth help with chewing and speech, and they guide adult teeth into the right position. Keeping them healthy supports your child’s long-term dental health.
Absolutely. Our professional-grade fluoride varnish is applied in a controlled way and is one of the best ways to protect young teeth.
We work with most major insurance plans, our team helps verify your coverage, and we explain costs clearly before treatment begins.
