You may recall your childhood dental visits with anxiety. Dental medicine has progressed significantly. With new knowledge and tools, treatment is safe, pleasant, and effective. Children mirror a parent’s emotions, so please avoid showing anxiety before an initial visit.
Prepare your child gently. Explain that the dentist will look at and count teeth, teach cleaning, and may take photographs. This frames the visit as a helpful and interesting experience. Our team enjoys working with children. Partner with us to build a positive and proactive attitude toward oral health.
Sincerely, Dr. Meenakshi S Kher
Many children with medical, physical, developmental or cognitive disability find dental treatment challenging. We work with children and families to customize a prevention program and modify techniques and diets. Minimally invasive options like Silver Diamine Fluoride and hand burs are invaluable. When cooperation is difficult for complex procedures, treatment may be done under general anesthesia.
If dental care is followed conscientiously, most dental disease is preventable. Our goal is a healthy smile and a confident child.
Best place I have been to, most kid friendly dentist clinic. They let kids watch cartoons during treatment and have fun fluoride flavours. During COVID there were no toys in the waiting lounge, otherwise it is filled with toys and books to keep children busy. All the doctors are really skilled. Any tooth related issue, this is the place to be.
Excellent.
Dr Kher and team are the best paediatric dental care available in Mumbai. My daughter, having had many surgeries and health issues, had tooth decay resulting from medication. We have been seeing Dr Kher and team since she was 6, with extractions, fillings and space maintainers. With all of this extensive work, not one tear shed. Leave your own dental worries aside, follow the world class team’s protocols and have a happy, pain free experience.
Dr Meenakshi and her team are the best. Even painful procedures are done with such care and finesse that the child goes out smiling and is happy to come back again. Highly recommend Happy Tooth Clinic to everyone.
My son had major tooth problems when he was 4 years old. He was operated by Dr Meenakshi and it went super smooth. Fabulous job. Ever since, we only go to Happy Tooth for my son. He is 8 now and only feels comfortable with the doctors here. Caring staff and perfect ambience, it does not feel like a doctor’s visit at all. We love Happy Tooth.
Dr Meenakshi Kher is an outstanding pediatric dentist. The way she treats and handles kids is terrific. Her staff and assistant doctors too are very good. An excellent team effort. We have always benefitted from the treatments.
Happy Tooth is indeed a happy place. My daughter gets the best possible care while actually having fun. Updated treatment methods, ambience that puts kids at ease and warmth from the team. We trust them completely, they think long term for kids’ welfare, even advising on mouth breathing and potential sleep disturbance.
Happy Tooth Clinic really did make us happy. I took my 3 year old for fillings and the whole process was easy and fun. I did not think dental treatment without tantrums was possible, but it was. Highly recommend to all mums and dads.
Took my 6 year old for an extraction. Everything was explained, she was comfortable throughout. Afterwards she was rewarded with stickers, ice cream and a tooth box. No pain and came home happy. Dr Meenakshi is amazing.
Nothing less than awesome. My 6 year old loves going. Professionalism and warmth from the word go. Due diligence during COVID. Mr Dino is the highlight, making children comfortable and not apprehensive. Thank you Dr Meenakshi, Dr Mitali and the entire team.
For 14 years I have been coming here. From an accident that misaligned my teeth to braces and retainers. Doctors and reception are amazing and friendly. Open and uplifting environment, you always leave with a smile. Congratulations on the new and bigger clinic.
Best dentist for kids. Fab clinic with toys and books. My 6 year old’s extraction was smooth and easy. Gentle and mindful care, with a TV on the ceiling for kids, plus stickers and balloons after.
Best experience for my 4 year old’s first time at a dental clinic. Dr Mitali gave her confidence and took great care. Thank you to the entire team at Happy Tooth Clinic.
Amazing and very professional.
