Everyday care
Kids' Dentistry (Pediatric Dentistry)in Parel, Mumbai
When should my child first see a dentist?
Children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Kids' dentistry, also called pediatric dentistry, covers check-ups, cleaning, cavity prevention, fillings and guidance on brushing and diet. Gentle early visits help children feel comfortable at the dentist and protect their teeth as they grow.
Who is Kids' Dentistry for?
It may help if you notice any of these:
- A child's first dental check-up
- Cavities or brown spots on milk teeth
- Toothache or sensitivity in children
- Thumb-sucking or teeth coming in crooked
Only a dental check-up can confirm what you need. These signs are a guide, not a diagnosis.
