Dr. Navreet Sidhu built Say Cheez Dental around a belief that sounds simple, but turns out to be rare: every child deserves dental care that actually feels safe.

A Practice Built Around the Hardest Cases
Most pediatric dental offices are designed around efficiency. Say Cheez Dental was built differently…and intentionally so.
When Dr. Navreet Sidhu opened her practice in Paramus, she had a specific child in mind: not the easy patient, but the hardest one. The child who cries in the waiting room. The one with sensory sensitivities whose last appointment ended badly. The newborn struggling with feeding because of a tongue tie. The teenager who hasn’t seen a dentist in years because every previous visit felt overwhelming.
That clarity of purpose is what makes Say Cheez different from every other pediatric practice in Bergen County — and why families who have struggled elsewhere keep finding their way here.
“I get to work with kids every day and help raise a generation that isn’t afraid of the dentist. Turning dental visits into something kids actually enjoy—that’s the goal.”
— Dr. Navreet Sidhu
The Expertise Behind the Approach
Dr. Sidhu’s credentials are not incidental to the practice, they are the foundation of the trust families place in her.
Born and raised in India, she came to the United States to complete her dental education at UCLA School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, then went on to her pediatric residency at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York, where she later served as Chief Resident in the Department of Dentistry.
Named to the Incisal Edge Top 40 Under 40 Dentists in America, Class of 2026, and backed by more than a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Sidhu brings a level of training to Paramus that is genuinely rare in a boutique, independent practice.
But what her patients’ families notice most is not the diplomas on the wall. It’s that she takes the time to explain everything, never over-treats, and treats each child as an individual, not a schedule slot.
Care That’s Designed, Not Just Delivered
Say Cheez is the only practice in the Bergen County market offering pediatric dentistry and orthodontics together under one roof, alongside in-house sedation with an anesthesiologist. For families managing complex needs, that combination eliminates the referral maze entirely.
The physical environment reflects the same philosophy. Weighted blankets, noise-canceling headphones, soft lighting, and sensory-designed treatment rooms aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the result of building a practice around the children who need the most support. Every child benefits from a space designed that way.
The practice also works with infants and new mothers navigating tongue ties and lip ties, collaborating with pediatricians and lactation consultants from the very first weeks of a baby’s life.
Thoughtful choices extend to clinical materials as well: white crown restorations instead of silver caps, BPA-free sealants, and evidence-based treatments selected with child safety in mind, not convention.
The result is a practice that is, as Dr. Sidhu describes it, “personal on purpose” — boutique by design, not by accident. Families don’t get handed off. They get one doctor who knows their child’s history from day one, and a team that knows their name.
“The best moments are when an anxious child walks in unsure and leaves with the biggest, proudest smile. That never gets old.”
— Dr. Navreet Sidhu
What Bergen County Families Are Saying
With more than 320 five-star reviews, the patterns in what families say tell the real story: Parents love the detailed explanations around the treatment process. They describe anxious, sensory-sensitive children who were met with patience rather than pressure. They describe children on the spectrum being welcomed in a way that went beyond anything they expected from a dental office. And they describe something rarer still: the feeling of familiarity. Of not having to re-explain their child at every visit. Of a team that already knows them.
Outside the Practice
The warmth families feel at Say Cheez is inseparable from who Dr. Sidhu is outside of it.
She’s a Bergen County mom herself, currently training for her first full marathon after years of half marathons. She snowboards, gardens, arranges flowers, and reads fiction. She’s an NJ Devils fan and a regular at Sooks Coffee in Ridgewood. She actively supports Oasis, a nonprofit serving women and children in Paterson, NJ, and remains passionate about causes connected to children’s education and wellbeing.
Ask her about her ideal weekend, and the answer says everything about her priorities:
“Breakfast in bed with my kids, driving them to hockey practice, grabbing ice cream after, and ending the day with a movie night.”
