Pediatric Dentistry
Without proper dental care, children face possible oral decay and disease that can cause a lifetime of pain and complications. Early childhood dental caries—an infectious disease—is 5 times more common in children than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever. It is advised to take your child for first dental visit when his first tooth erupts.
Dr. Suneel not only specialises in children dental care but also is well versed in handling special children for their needs.
