There is a common misconception as to why children require early dental visits, especially when they don’t have any prevailing complications such as multiple dental caries. A paedodontist can diagnose birth abnormalities at an early stage which might seem normal to untrained eyes.

Our doctors specialise in monitoring growth patterns and teeth placement in primary bone which has overall effect on healthy grown of an infant.
Oral Habits are one of those areas which require special attention at primary phase. Even though some of these habits are considered normal, they are acceptable only till a specific time frame. Such habits include, non-nutritive sucking, mouth breathing, lip or nail biting, etc. Presence of such practice is an important indicator of a hurdle child’s behavioural development.
