The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first dental visit by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. This early visit is mainly for parents — we’ll guide you on proper cleaning, feeding, and what to expect. It’s quick, gentle, and sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Children should visit the dentist every 6 months for checkups and cleaning. Regular visits help catch cavities early, apply preventive treatments like fluoride and sealants, and monitor the development of teeth and jaws. If your child is prone to cavities, we may recommend more frequent visits.

Yes. We use digital X-rays which emit very low radiation — significantly less than traditional X-rays. We also use lead aprons and thyroid collars for extra protection. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary (usually from age 5–6 onwards) and help us detect problems between teeth and check developing adult teeth.

Dental sealants are thin, protective plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars). They seal the deep grooves where food and bacteria get trapped, preventing cavities. The application is quick, painless, and requires no drilling. Sealants can last several years and are highly recommended for children as soon as their permanent molars come in (around age 6 and 12).

Yes, fluoride is safe and beneficial when used appropriately. It strengthens tooth enamel and prevents cavities. For children under 3, use a smear of fluoride toothpaste. For ages 3–6, use a pea-sized amount. Professional fluoride varnish applied at the dentist is completely safe and provides extra protection. We always use age-appropriate doses.

For babies: wipe gums with a clean, damp cloth after feeding. Once teeth appear, use a soft baby toothbrush with a smear of fluoride toothpaste. For toddlers and older children: brush twice daily with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, using gentle circular motions. Supervise brushing until age 7–8 — children don’t have the dexterity to do it properly alone. Make it fun — use a timer or a song!

Thumb sucking is normal in infants and toddlers. Most children stop on their own by age 3–4. If it continues beyond age 4, it can affect tooth alignment and jaw development. We provide gentle habit counseling and, if needed, appliances to help your child stop. The earlier we address it, the better the outcome — don’t wait until permanent teeth come in.

Call us immediately at +91 99362 93232. For a knocked-out tooth, pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try to reinsert it or store in milk. Get to us within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it. For other injuries (chipped tooth, pain, swelling), call us and we’ll guide you on what to do. We’re open 7 days including Sundays for emergencies.

Absolutely! Baby teeth are crucial — they help children chew properly, speak clearly, and smile confidently. They also hold space for adult teeth. If a baby tooth is lost too early due to decay, adjacent teeth can shift into the space, causing crowding and alignment problems for adult teeth. That’s why we treat baby teeth with the same care as adult teeth.

Prevent cavities by: (1) Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, (2) Flossing daily once teeth touch, (3) Limiting sugary foods and drinks, (4) Encouraging water over juice, (5) Regular 6-month dental checkups, (6) Sealants on permanent molars, (7) Fluoride treatments at dental visits, (8) Never putting baby to bed with a milk bottle.
