Why Novi families choose Lakes
Novi parents can find a dentist on nearly any corner, so the ones who drive to Dr. Naila Farooq come for something specific: a specialist who has treated only children since 1999. That focus means conservative, least-invasive care and a doctor who explains her thinking to parents rather than rushing the appointment.
Her Novi patients grow up through Novi Woods Elementary, Novi Middle School, and the green and white of Novi High School, and many keep seeing her long after the drive becomes a habit. When convenience is everywhere and families still choose the specialist, that’s the endorsement that matters.
What families from Novi say
Google review“Best pediatric dentist you could bring your kids too. Everyone who works there knows how to handle and talk to little ones and it makes every dentist appointment go smoothly and tear free. They are so kind my son loves it there”
Google review“Both of my girls have been going here since their first tooth popped through. All of the staff is kind and understanding and they are always ok with splitting up appointments to make it more manageable financially and for my children. I love how quick and efficient they are during each appointment and that they do everything they can make sure my children are comfortable.”
Google review“My kids love this Dentist. They are actually excited when they get their teeth cleaned. They haven’t had cavities in at least the last 3 check ups because the Dentist helped us get the prescription toothpaste and it works miracles.”
The dentist
Dr. Naila Farooq, board-certified pediatric specialist since 1999.
Pediatric dentists train for years beyond dental school on infants, children, teens, and those with special healthcare needs, so caring for young patients is not one part of this practice. It is the whole practice. One dentist, and your child sees her every visit.

Have an emergency?
If your child is struggling to breathe or swallow, or has a head injury, call 911 first. For a dental emergency that is not life-threatening, such as a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, dental swelling, or pain that will not settle, call our emergency line, day or night. We would rather tell you it can wait than have you sit on it over a weekend.
