📞 Book an AppointmentPediatric Dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents—including those with special healthcare needs. It emphasizes preventive care, early detection of dental issues, and treatments designed to ensure proper growth and development of teeth and jaws.
At Narhare Dental Clinic, we create a friendly and comfortable environment where children feel at ease. From routine check-ups, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to managing cavities and guiding proper oral habits, our pediatric dental care is designed to build a strong foundation for lifelong healthy smiles.
At Narhare Dental Clinic (Wakad), children are treated with empathy and clarity. We start every visit by explaining what will happen in child-friendly language and encourage parental presence whenever it helps a child feel secure. Our team follows “Tell–Show–Do,” gentle voice control, and positive reinforcement so young patients leave feeling confident rather than fearful.
Clinical decisions are data-driven and conservative. We use cavity-risk assessment, dietary guidance and professional fluoride/sealant protocols to prevent problems before they begin. When treatment is needed, rubber-dam isolation, child-sized instruments and age-appropriate anesthesia make procedures efficient and comfortable.
For anxious children, we offer nitrous-oxide (laughing-gas) sedation with continuous monitoring. It helps kids stay calm yet responsive, and it wears off quickly so they can leave the clinic feeling normal. Our sterilization follows medical-grade standards and all pediatric kits are maintained separately to ensure safety and accuracy.
Infants & Toddlers (0–3 years): First visit is recommended by the first tooth or first birthday. We guide feeding practices, thumb-sucking habits and early brushing routines. Short, positive visits build trust and help you catch problems early.
Preschool & School-Age (4–10 years): As diet and independence change, new cavity risks appear. We focus on sealants for permanent molars, fluoride varnish where indicated, and habit correction. Sports mouthguards are advised for active kids to prevent dental trauma.
Pre-teens & Teens (11–16 years): Growth monitoring and interceptive orthodontics can simplify future braces. We also review wisdom-tooth development and reinforce home-care skills as schedules become busier and snacking increases.
Prevention is the foundation of children’s dentistry. We plan professional cleanings and topical fluoride based on risk and recommend pit-and-fissure sealants to protect deep grooves on permanent molars. When a cavity is present, tooth-colored fillings restore both strength and appearance while keeping as much natural tooth as possible.
For larger lesions, stainless-steel crowns protect baby molars, and aesthetic strip crowns are used for front teeth when appropriate. If the nerve is affected, we perform pulpotomy or pulpectomy (baby root-canal) to relieve pain and preserve function until natural exfoliation. Space maintainers are offered when early tooth loss could disturb alignment.
Growth and bite are reviewed at each visit. Interceptive orthodontics can guide jaw development and reduce future complexity. For children with sensory sensitivities or special needs, we adapt the environment to make visits predictable, calm and successful for the whole family.
Nitrous-oxide helps anxious children relax while remaining awake and communicative. It is delivered via a small nasal hood and titrated to effect. Most children describe feeling light, calm and comfortable, which allows us to complete care gently and efficiently.
The effects wear off quickly once the gas is stopped, and children typically leave the clinic feeling normal. We will discuss indications, consent and pre-visit instructions with you so the experience is predictable. Sedation is recommended case-by-case and may not be needed for every child.
We keep pricing clear so you can plan confidently. Final estimates are shared after examination and any necessary X-rays. EMI options are available on select treatment plans.

Your child is welcomed at their pace. We start with a friendly tour, then review medical history, diet and brushing habits. If X-rays are indicated, we use low-dose protocols and explain each step before proceeding. The dentist performs a cavity-risk assessment and shares a simple home-care plan tailored to your child’s age.
If treatment is needed, we outline the options, timelines and fees. Most preventive procedures can be completed the same day. For very young or anxious children, we may stage visits to keep experiences short and positive.
Children can chip or knock a tooth during play or sports. If a permanent tooth is avulsed (knocked out), hold it by the crown, gently rinse and place it back in the socket or store in cold milk and reach us immediately. For baby-tooth injuries, bleeding control and pain relief are priorities; we will assess the tooth for mobility, bite interference and soft-tissue wounds.
We reserve priority slots for emergencies. If your child uses a mouthguard, injuries are less severe—ask us about custom options for school and club sports.
Watch how we make dental visits comfortable and stress-free for children.

Nitrous-oxide has an excellent safety profile when properly administered and monitored. It reduces anxiety while your child remains awake and responsive, and its effects wear off quickly.
Pulpotomy and pulpectomy are performed under local anesthesia with child-specific techniques. Most children are comfortable during and after treatment with simple pain control.
They do different jobs. Sealants protect deep grooves on molars, while fluoride strengthens enamel across all teeth. We recommend them based on your child’s cavity-risk assessment.
We schedule extra time, keep explanations simple, and adjust lighting and sounds to suit your child. Behavior guidance and, when appropriate, nitrous-oxide help make visits smooth.
