Choosing a dentist in Chennai for your child is one of the first health decisions many parents make. The right dental team does more than fix teeth. It helps a child feel safe, teaches healthy habits and spots small problems before they turn into painful ones.
Kidz N Teenz Dental Clinic cares for infants, children, teenagers and parents at two clinics in Chennai, one in Anna Nagar West and one in Pallikaranai. Our dentists work as one team, so families can get checkups, children’s care, root canal treatment, braces and specialist diagnosis without moving between many clinics.
We believe good dental care starts with listening. Every visit begins with understanding your concerns, and every treatment begins with a clear explanation in simple words. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is suggested unless it is truly needed.
Why Choosing the Right Dentist in Chennai Matters
Teeth and gums affect much more than a smile. They help children chew food well, speak clearly and feel confident at school. Problems that start small can grow quietly.
- Decay moves silently. A cavity often causes no pain until it reaches the nerve. Regular checks catch it while it is still small.
- Early habits last. Children who learn to brush well and enjoy their visits usually carry those habits into adult life.
- Growth needs watching. Crowding and bite problems are often simpler to guide while the jaw is still growing.
- Trust reduces fear. A child who feels understood is more likely to sit calmly and return without worry.
A dental team that explains things well also helps parents make confident choices. When you understand why a treatment is needed, you can plan for it without stress.
What to Look for in a Dentist in Chennai
Every family has different needs, but a few things matter in almost every case.
- Proper qualifications. Check that the dentist holds a BDS degree, and an MDS if they are treating a specialist problem.
- Experience with children. Children need a gentle, patient approach. Pediatric dentists are trained for this.
- Clean and safe clinic. Look for clean rooms, sterilised instruments and staff who follow hygiene rules.
- Clear communication. The dentist should explain the problem, the options and the likely cost before starting.
- Easy access. A clinic close to home or school makes it easier to keep regular visits.
- Room for questions. You should never feel rushed or pushed into a decision.
Our Dental Team
Our team brings together pediatric dentists, general dentists, an endodontist and specialists in oral medicine and radiology. Working side by side, they can look at a problem from more than one angle and agree on a plan that suits your child.
Dr. V.S. Hariharan
- BDS, MDS, FICCDE (USA)
- Chief Pediatric Dentist and Managing Director
- 25+ years of experience
Dr. V.S. Hariharan has spent more than 25 years caring for children’s teeth and leads the clinical direction of Kidz N Teenz. The core belief behind this work is that most dental problems in children can be prevented with the right guidance at the right age.
Visits with Dr. Hariharan often include a close look at how the teeth are coming in, whether the jaws are growing in balance and whether any daily habits are putting the teeth at risk. Parents get time to ask questions about feeding, brushing, sweets and thumb sucking. The aim is to leave every family with a simple routine that protects their child’s teeth between visits.
Dr. Roshan Rayen
- BDS, MDS, FICCDE (USA)
- Pediatric and Cosmetic Dentist
- 23+ years of experience
With more than 23 years in practice, Dr. Roshan Rayen combines children’s dentistry with care for the look of the smile. Young patients come in for cavities, damaged fillings and broken teeth, while older children and teens often seek help with stained, chipped or uneven front teeth.
Dr. Roshan Rayen plans smile design and other cosmetic treatments with a child’s growth in mind. Some changes can be made right away, while others are better planned for later. Parents and teens are shown what each option involves, how long it takes and how to care for the result, so the decision is made together.
Dr. Aysha Mansoor
- BDS, MDS (Pediatric Dentistry)
- Consultant Pediatric Dentist
- 10+ years of experience
Dr. Aysha Mansoor earned her BDS from Bharath University in 2014 and her MDS in Pediatric Dentistry from the same university in 2018. She has more than 10 years of experience in children’s dental care.
A large part of her work is with children who find dental visits hard. This includes children with special needs and children with strong fear or anxiety. She offers conscious sedation, which helps a child feel calm and relaxed while staying awake. When a child has many teeth that need treatment, she can carry out full mouth treatment under general anaesthesia so the work is done safely in a single visit. She also treats early bite and alignment problems and provides corrections that improve how teeth look.
Dr. Bhavithra Augusthian
- BDS, MDS
- Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist
- 7+ years of experience
Dr. Bhavithra Augusthian has more than 7 years of experience in dental imaging. Her role is to read X rays and scans and explain what they show, so the treating dentist can plan with accuracy.
Some of the most important dental problems are hidden. A cavity may sit between two back teeth, an infection may form at the root tip, or an adult tooth may be stuck below the gum. Dr. Bhavithra’s reports bring these problems into view. This helps avoid guesswork and gives parents a clear reason for each part of the treatment plan.
Dr. D. Nida Fathima
- BDS
- Senior General Dentist
- 7+ years of experience
Dr. D. Nida Fathima has more than 7 years of experience in general dentistry and cares for teenagers and adults. Many parents choose to have their own checkups with her while their children are treated by our pediatric team.
Her daily work includes dental checkups, scaling and cleaning, tooth coloured fillings and care for gum problems such as bleeding or swelling. She takes time to explain why a problem has started and what can be done at home to stop it from returning.
Dr. D. Manikandan
- BDS, MDS
- Associate Pediatric Dentist
- 7+ years of experience
Dr. D. Manikandan brings more than 7 years of experience in children’s dentistry. Much of this work involves treating cavities in milk teeth and young adult teeth, and keeping track of how the mouth is developing.
Some children have extra teeth, missing teeth or teeth that erupt late or in the wrong position. Dr. Manikandan looks for these signs early so they can be managed at the right time. Children are spoken to gently and kept informed at each step, which helps them stay settled in the chair.
Dr. Chandrakantha Balaraman
- BDS, MDS
- Associate Pediatric Dentist
- 5+ years of experience
Dr. Chandrakantha Balaraman has more than 5 years of experience in pediatric dentistry with a clear focus on prevention. The goal is to find decay at the earliest stage or stop it from forming.
Care often includes dental sealants, which are thin coatings placed on the deep grooves of back teeth to keep food and germs out. Children also learn how to brush properly through simple, hands on guidance, so the lesson carries over to home.
Dr. Anunitha R
- BDS, MDS (Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry)
- Pediatric Dentist
- 2 years of experience
Dr. Anunitha R studied BDS at Sri Ramachandra Dental College, Chennai, and completed her MDS in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry at Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, Puducherry. She has 2 years of clinical experience.
She provides preventive care and fillings for children, with each plan shaped around the child’s age and comfort. Helping anxious children through patient, step by step guidance is a key part of her approach. She also supports orthodontic assessment through the SmileStream programme and guides parents on building good dental habits early.
Dr. Madhu Nandhini K
- BDS, MDS (Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry)
- Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Madhu Nandhini K completed her BDS at Tagore Dental College and Hospital, Chennai, and her MDS in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry at Government Dental College and Hospital, Patiala.
Her care covers prevention, fillings, cosmetic treatment for children’s teeth and care for teeth injured during play or falls. She also supports orthodontic assessment through the SmileStream programme, which helps find bite and alignment problems early. Each treatment is planned with the child’s comfort in mind.
Dr. Jebarani Jeevitha S
- BDS, MDS (Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiology)
- Consultant Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiologist
Dr. Jebarani Jeevitha S completed her BDS at J.K.K. Nataraja Dental College and Hospitals and her MDS in Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiology at Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai.
She diagnoses and manages conditions of the soft tissues in the mouth, such as ulcers that do not heal and patches that need careful monitoring. She also helps patients with jaw and facial pain. Dental scans and X rays support her diagnosis. Alongside clinical work, she has published research articles and holds an Indian patent.
Dr. Adhira Mansoor
- BDS, MDS (Endodontics)
- Consultant Endodontist
- Consults at our Pallikaranai clinic
Dr. Adhira Mansoor completed her BDS at Bharath University in 2021 and her MDS in Endodontics at The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University in 2024.
Endodontics deals with the pulp, the soft inner part of a tooth that holds nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment cleans it out and seals the tooth so it can stay in the mouth. Dr. Adhira Mansoor also provides tooth coloured fillings, veneers and other treatments that improve the shape and shade of teeth.
Dr. Chandramouly
- BDS
- General Dentist
Dr. Chandramouly earned his BDS at Sree Balaji Dental College and Hospital, holds Basic Life Support certification and has gained clinical experience at Platinum Dentistry.
He provides a wide range of general dental care, with special attention to careful diagnosis, clear planning and preventive and restorative treatment. Patients are told what to expect at each stage, so they feel informed and at ease throughout their care.

What Affects the Cost of Dental Treatment
Parents often want to know what treatment will cost before they book. The cost of seeing a dentist in Chennai depends on several things.
- The type of treatment. Checkups and cleaning cost less than root canal treatment, braces or implants.
- The number of teeth involved. Treating one tooth costs less than treating several.
- Materials used. Different filling, crown and aligner materials have different prices.
- The need for sedation or general anaesthesia. Extra support adds to the overall cost.
- The stage of the problem. Problems found early are usually simpler and less costly to treat.
The clearest way to know the cost is to have an examination. The dentist can then share an estimate based on what your child actually needs.
