Dr. Nieku Manshadi, DDS – Pediatric Dentist

Children’s dental care is the main focus of Dr. Nieku Manshadi’s work. He is a board-certified pediatric dentist at Rockaway Beach Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry in Queens, New York. His patients range from infants at their first dental appointment to teenagers who need routine, preventive or restorative care.

Dr. Manshadi provides dental care that accounts for a child’s age, comfort level and individual needs. His current practice describes an approach based on simple explanations and a gentle introduction to dental care. This can help children become familiar with the dental office before treatment begins.

Dental Education and Pediatric Training

Dr. Manshadi earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. He later completed a two-year pediatric dentistry residency at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine.

Pediatric dental residency provides education beyond general dental school. It prepares dentists to care for developing teeth, manage childhood dental disease and adapt treatment for young patients. Dr. Manshadi’s professional profile identifies him as a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

He is also listed as a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Northeastern Society of Pediatric Dentistry and the New York Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

Dental Care From Infancy Through the Teen Years

Dr. Manshadi’s current office offers preventive dental care such as examinations, gentle cleanings, fluoride treatment and dental X-rays. Early appointments allow the dental team to monitor tooth development, identify signs of decay and help families establish practical oral hygiene habits at home.

His practice also lists conservative treatments for early tooth decay. These include silver diamine fluoride and air abrasion. The appropriate treatment depends on the child’s dental condition, medical history, age and ability to tolerate a procedure.

Children with dental anxiety, sensory needs or other healthcare considerations may require a different pace or treatment plan. The Rockaway Beach practice offers special-needs dentistry, sedation options and hospital-based dental care. Parents should speak with the office to determine which services Dr. Manshadi personally provides and whether a hospital setting is necessary.

Help With Pediatric Dental Emergencies

The practice accepts visits for urgent dental problems in children. These may include tooth pain, a broken tooth, dental trauma or another problem that requires prompt assessment. Families should call the office first so the team can explain what to do and confirm whether an immediate appointment is available.

Dr. Manshadi has also taken part in dental service missions in Ecuador and the Philippines. His professional biography states that this work supported communities with limited access to dental care.

His current listed office is at Rockaway Beach Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry on Beach Channel Drive. Families should confirm insurance participation, appointment availability and the recommended service directly with the practice.
