Children’s teeth are not just smaller versions of adult teeth. They grow, fall, erupt, and develop in a way that requires specialised care. At Sharan Hospital in Ghatkopar, Dr. Ankita Sidhpura Chauhan provides dedicated pediatric dental care designed around how children actually feel, behave, and heal.
From your baby’s very first tooth to your teenager’s final molar, every stage of childhood is covered under one roof, preventive, restorative, and emergency care delivered with patience, gentleness, and the expertise of an MDS specialist.
We recommend your child's first visit by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth. Dr. Ankita checks tooth eruption, jaw development, and feeding patterns early, so small problems are caught before they grow.
Tooth decay can begin as early as age one. We catch it at the earliest stage and treat it with fluoride therapy, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), or gentle restorative care, stopping damage before it reaches permanent teeth.
Regular six-monthly check-ups, professional cleaning, and fluoride keep your child's teeth strong. Sealants painted onto back molars are painless and protect against cavities for years, no drilling needed.
Cavities in baby teeth still need treatment, they cause pain and damage the tooth underneath. We use mercury-free, tooth-coloured fillings and, when decay reaches the nerve, pulp therapy to save the tooth comfortably.
When a baby tooth is lost too early, neighbouring teeth drift and block the permanent tooth from coming in correctly. Space maintainers hold the gap open so adult teeth erupt in the right place.
Knocked-out teeth, swelling, and severe pain need fast expert care. We offer same-day emergency appointments with a child-first approach, and full hospital backup for complex cases when needed.
Most childhood cavities are preventable. We teach age-appropriate brushing, flossing, and diet habits, and send every family home with practical tools that actually work in a real Mumbai household.
Every child's teeth and jaw follow a growth timeline. We monitor eruption patterns and jaw development at every visit, flagging concerns early so treatment can happen at exactly the right moment.
Pediatric dentistry isn’t general dentistry for smaller patients. It’s a separate specialty, and Dr. Ankita brings the training and hospital infrastructure to match.
MDS pediatric dentist with formal training in child behavior, growth, and development, not a general dentist treating children occasionally.
Tell-show-do, gradual desensitization, distraction, and positive reinforcement, your child leaves wanting to come back.
Nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or general anesthesia in a hospital-grade setup, for anxious children or those needing extensive treatment.
Most dental clinics are designed for adults and adapted for children. Our practice is the other way around, every workflow, every protocol, every moment is built around how children actually feel, behave, and heal.
Our goal isn’t just to fix a tooth; it’s to make sure your child’s next dental visit is one they look forward to. We combine specialist training, child-friendly behaviour techniques, and the safety of a hospital setup so every family leaves more confident than they arrived.
A typical visit covers a gentle examination of teeth and gums, monitoring of jaw growth and erupting teeth, professional cleaning, and guidance on brushing and diet. It's also where we catch small issues early, before they become bigger problems.
For most children, behaviour guidance is all that's needed. We use techniques like tell-show-do, gradual desensitisation, distraction, and positive reinforcement, so your child understands what's happening and leaves wanting to come back.
Yes. We follow a parent-in-the-room policy throughout every appointment, and we offer sibling-friendly scheduling to make visits easier for busy families.
