Consultant Pediatric Dentist and MDS in Pediatric Dentistry, with over 10 years of experience at Kidz N Teenz Dental Clinic. Dr. Aysha Mansoor specializes in interceptive orthodontics, conscious sedation, and care for children with special needs.
Pallikaranai has grown quickly over the last few years. New apartments, schools, offices and shops have brought many young families into the area. With this growth comes a simple need: good dental care that is close to home, open at hours that suit working parents, and gentle enough for a child who feels nervous about the dentist.
Kidz N Teenz is a dental clinic in Pallikaranai that cares for children, teens and adults under one roof. The clinic focuses on prevention, early diagnosis and saving natural teeth wherever possible. Every plan is explained in simple words, so parents and patients know what is happening and why.
Good oral health is about much more than a nice smile. Healthy teeth help a child chew food well, speak clearly and feel confident in class. Strong milk teeth also hold space for the adult teeth that come later. In adults, healthy gums are linked to better overall health. When dental care is close by, it becomes easier to keep up with checkups and catch small problems before they become painful or costly.
Dental Care for the Whole Family
Many families have to visit one clinic for their children and another for the adults. At Kidz N Teenz, the whole family can be seen in one place. Children receive care planned around their growing teeth and jaws, while teens and adults receive general, restorative and cosmetic care suited to their stage of life.
Our care always starts with prevention. At each visit, the dentist checks for early signs of decay, gum problems, bite issues and harmful habits. We then explain what we see and suggest the gentlest option that suits you or your child. If treatment is not needed yet, we tell you that too, and show you how to keep the problem from growing.
When needed, we use digital X-rays and intraoral images. These help us see problems that are hidden from the eye, such as decay between teeth or infection near the root. Digital X-rays generally need a lower dose of radiation than older film X-rays, and the images appear on screen within seconds, so we can show them to you during the visit.
What to Look for When Choosing a Dental Clinic
Choosing a dentist is an important decision, especially for a child’s first visits. A good clinic should leave you feeling informed, not rushed. Here are a few things worth checking:
- A clear diagnosis, explained in words you understand
- A treatment plan with options and costs shared before treatment begins
- Proper sterilization and infection control for every patient
- A calm, welcoming space where children feel safe
- Dentists trained to treat children, if you are bringing a child
- Advice on home care, not only treatment in the chair
- The same team following up with you over time
If a clinic takes time to answer your questions and does not push you into treatment, that is usually a good sign.
About Kidz N Teenz Dental Clinic
Kidz N Teenz Dental Clinic has been caring for children and families in Chennai for over 10 years. It began with one clear purpose: to give children dental care in a setting that is made for them, by dentists trained to understand how children think, feel and grow. Over time, the clinic has grown to two branches, one in Anna Nagar and one in Pallikaranai, and now treats teens and adults as well.
Our Purpose
The clinic aims to be a primary oral health home for children in the community. This means being the place a family returns to from a baby’s first tooth through the teenage years and beyond. Instead of only fixing problems when they appear, the team works to prevent them, track growth over time and guide good habits at every age.
Education is a large part of this purpose. The team spends time teaching parents how to brush a toddler’s teeth, which snacks are safer for teeth, how to spot early decay and when to bring a child in. When families understand the reasons behind good habits, they are far more likely to keep them up at home.
A Team Focused on Children
Kidz N Teenz is led by Dr. V.S. Hariharan, Chief Pediatric Dentist and Managing Director. The wider team includes pediatric dentists, general dentists, a consultant endodontist who focuses on root canal care, and oral and maxillofacial radiologists who help read X-rays and scans. This mix of training means a child or adult can often have their full care planned within the same clinic family, without being sent elsewhere.
Pediatric dentists complete extra training after their basic dental degree. They learn how a child’s teeth and jaws develop, how to manage fear and anxiety, and how to treat children with medical or developmental needs. This training shapes how every visit is planned, from how the dentist speaks to the child to how long each appointment lasts.
Meet Dr. Aysha Mansoor
Dr. Aysha Mansoor is a Consultant Pediatric Dentist at Kidz N Teenz with over 10 years of experience in treating children. Her main areas of interest are:
- Interceptive orthodontics: finding bite and jaw problems early and guiding growth, so that later treatment may be simpler or shorter
- Conscious sedation: a calm, relaxed state that helps very anxious children receive treatment while staying awake and able to respond
- Special needs dental care: gentle, patient care for children with physical, medical or developmental needs, with extra time and a pace that suits the child
Our Approach to Every Visit
Each visit follows a simple, steady pattern. We listen first. We examine carefully. We explain what we find, show you the X-rays or images, and share the options along with the cost of each. Only after you agree do we begin treatment. Procedures are done gently, with care taken to keep children and adults as comfortable as possible.
For children, the first visit is often kept short and friendly. The dentist may simply count teeth, show the child the chair and the tools, and let them get used to the sounds and lights. Building trust in the early visits makes later care much easier for everyone.
Clear and Honest Costs
Families are told the cost of treatment before it begins, and there are no hidden charges added later. If there is more than one way to treat a problem, the dentist explains the cost and the benefits of each, so you can choose what works for your family.
Safety and Hygiene
Instruments are cleaned and sterilized after every patient using standard protocols. Treatment surfaces are cleaned between visits. The clinic uses child safe materials for fillings and other treatments, chosen with a child’s age and growing teeth in mind.
A Space Made for Children
Children often fear the dentist because they do not know what will happen. The clinic is designed to feel bright, friendly and welcoming rather than clinical. The team uses simple words, a calm voice and small steps, so children feel in control. Many children who were scared at first soon look forward to their visits.

Dental Services at Our Pallikaranai Branch
General Dentistry
Routine checkups, cleaning, fillings and simple treatments for everyday dental problems. These visits form the base of long term oral health for every member of the family.
Preventive Dental Care
Prevention helps stop problems before they start. This includes regular checkups, professional cleaning, fluoride application, pit and fissure sealants and simple guidance on brushing, flossing and diet.
Pediatric Dentistry
Dental care planned around a growing child. We care for milk teeth, guide new adult teeth as they come in and help children build good habits from an early age.
Restorative Dentistry
Treatments that repair or replace damaged or missing teeth, such as fillings, crowns, bridges and root canal treatment. The aim is to bring back comfort, normal chewing and a natural look.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Treatments that improve how your smile looks, such as teeth whitening, tooth colored bonding and veneers. We first check that the teeth and gums are healthy before planning any cosmetic work.
Orthodontic Treatment
Braces and aligners help straighten crooked teeth and correct the bite. Early checks in children can show whether simple guidance now may reduce the need for complex treatment later.
Sedation and Special Needs Dentistry
For patients who feel very anxious or who have special needs, the clinic offers comfort focused care. The dentist will discuss whether sedation is suitable, how it works and how to prepare for the visit.
Emergency Dental Care and Dental Trauma
Falls and sports injuries can chip, loosen or knock out teeth. If this happens, call the clinic as soon as possible. If an adult tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, not the root, keep it moist in milk, and come in quickly. Fast care gives the tooth a much better chance of being saved.
Sports Dentistry and Mouthguards
Children who play cricket, football, hockey or martial arts can protect their teeth with a custom mouthguard. A guard made for your child’s mouth fits better and is more comfortable than a store bought one.
Habit Counseling
Thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, nail biting and mouth breathing can affect how teeth and jaws grow. The team works with parents and children to understand the habit and stop it gently, using simple methods and, if needed, habit breaking appliances.
Pediatric Dental Care
Children are not small adults. Their teeth, jaws and habits change quickly, so their care needs a different approach. Dental guidelines suggest a child’s first dental visit by the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth coming in.
Pediatric care at our clinic includes:
- Regular checkups to track tooth and jaw growth
- Fluoride application to make enamel stronger
- Sealants to protect the deep grooves of back teeth
- Care for decayed milk teeth, so they stay until the adult teeth are ready
- Space maintainers when a milk tooth is lost too early
- Habit correction for thumb sucking and tongue thrusting
- Preventive programs and home care advice for parents
Milk teeth may fall out, but they matter. Decay in milk teeth can cause pain, infection and trouble eating, and it can affect the adult teeth growing below. Caring for them well sets up a healthy mouth for life.
Treatments Available
- Root canal treatment: removes infection from inside the tooth so the tooth can be saved
- Crowns and bridges: cover a weak tooth or fill the gap left by a missing tooth
- Fillings: repair cavities with tooth colored material
- Tooth extraction: gentle removal of a tooth that cannot be saved
- Wisdom tooth removal: for wisdom teeth that cause pain, swelling or crowding
- Gum treatment: deep cleaning and care for bleeding or swollen gums
- Teeth whitening: lightens stains on healthy teeth
- Smile design: a planned mix of treatments to improve the look of your smile
Why Regular Dental Checkups Matter
Many dental problems do not hurt in the early stage. By the time a tooth aches, the decay is often deep. Regular checkups help in many ways:
- Decay and gum disease are found early, when treatment is simpler
- Small treatments now can avoid larger, costlier ones later
- Professional cleaning removes hard deposits that brushing cannot
- The risk of losing teeth goes down
- In children, the dentist can track growth and spot bite problems early
- Healthy gums support better overall health
For most people, a checkup every six months works well. Your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your needs.
Signs You Should See a Dentist Soon
Do not wait for your next routine visit if you notice any of these:
- Tooth pain that does not go away
- Gums that bleed when you brush
- Sharp sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food
- Swelling in the face, jaw or gums
- A broken, chipped or knocked out tooth
- Bad breath that stays even after brushing
- An adult tooth that feels loose
- White or brown spots on a young child’s teeth

Technology We Use
- Digital X-rays for clear images with a lower radiation dose
- Intraoral camera, so you can see what the dentist sees
- Standard sterilization systems for instruments
- Modern diagnostic tools to plan treatment accurately
Tips for Healthy Teeth Between Visits
- Brush twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between teeth once a day with floss or an interdental brush.
- Cut down on sweets, sugary drinks and sticky snacks.
- Drink plenty of water, especially after meals.
- Keep up with checkups every six months.
- Avoid tobacco in any form.
For children under three, use a smear of fluoride toothpaste the size of a grain of rice. From three to six years, a pea sized amount is enough. Parents should help with brushing until the child can do it well alone, usually around 7 to 8 years of age.
