Looking for a dentist in India who truly understands children? Kids are not just smaller adults. Their teeth are softer, their jaws are still growing, and a single scary visit can shape how they feel about dental care for life. That is why the choice of dental team matters so much.
Kidz N Teenz Dental Clinic is a pediatric dental clinic in Chennai with centres in Anna Nagar West and Pallikaranai. Our work centres on babies, children and teenagers, and we also care for parents. Families come to us for routine checkups, cavity care, root canal treatment for milk and adult teeth, braces, care after injuries and support for children with special needs.
Our approach is simple. Listen to the parent, put the child at ease, explain each step in plain words and treat only what needs treating. Good dental care should feel calm and clear, not rushed or confusing.
Why Families Choose Kidz N Teenz Dental Clinic

Meet Our Dental Team
Each member of our team brings a different skill. When a child’s problem needs more than one point of view, our dentists discuss the case together before deciding on treatment.
Dr. V.S. Hariharan
BDS, MDS, FICCDE (USA) | Chief Pediatric Dentist and Managing Director | 25+ years of experience
As the head of Kidz N Teenz, Dr. V.S. Hariharan sets the direction for how children are cared for at both clinics. Over more than 25 years of practice in children’s dentistry, prevention has remained at the heart of this work.
Rather than waiting for pain to bring a child in, Dr. Hariharan believes in regular reviews that follow the growth of teeth and jaws over the years. Parents are guided on daily care, from cleaning a baby’s first tooth to choosing snacks that are kinder to teeth. Habits like thumb sucking or night time bottle feeding are discussed openly, with practical ways to change them gently.
Dr. Roshan Rayen
BDS, MDS, FICCDE (USA) | Pediatric and Cosmetic Dentist | 23+ years of experience
Dr. Roshan Rayen has more than 23 years of experience in caring for children and teenagers, with a special interest in cosmetic dentistry. This mix allows treatment to address both the health of a tooth and how it looks.
A broken front tooth after a fall, dark stains or uneven teeth can make a child shy about smiling. Dr. Roshan Rayen helps restore these teeth and plans smile design treatment that suits the child’s age. Families are told which treatments can be done now and which are better left until growth is complete, so they can plan with confidence.
Dr. Aysha Mansoor
BDS, MDS (Pediatric Dentistry) | Consultant Pediatric Dentist | 10+ years of experience | Consults at our Pallikaranai clinic
Dr. Aysha Mansoor holds a BDS (2014) and an MDS in Pediatric Dentistry (2018), both from Bharath University, and brings more than 10 years of experience in children’s dental care.
Her special area is caring for children who cannot easily sit through regular treatment. This includes children with special needs, very young children and those with deep fear of the dentist. She offers conscious sedation, where a child stays awake but calm and relaxed. When many teeth need work, she can complete full mouth treatment under general anaesthesia in one safe session. Her work also includes correcting early bite problems and aesthetic treatment for children’s teeth.
Dr. Bhavithra Augusthian
BDS, MDS | Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist | 7+ years of experience
With more than 7 years of experience, Dr. Bhavithra Augusthian specialises in reading dental X rays and scans. These images show what cannot be seen during a normal check, such as decay between teeth, infection near the roots or an adult tooth growing in the wrong direction.
Clear reports from Dr. Bhavithra help the treating dentist choose the right treatment the first time. For parents, this means fewer surprises and a better understanding of why a treatment is advised. Images are taken only when they will add useful information.
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, caring mainly for teenagers and adults. Her work focuses on preventive and restorative care that keeps natural teeth healthy.
Patients see her for checkups, scaling, tooth coloured fillings and gum care. She also helps parents look after their own teeth, which sets a good example for children at home. Each visit includes simple advice on how to prevent the same problem from returning.
Dr. D. Manikandan
BDS, MDS | Associate Pediatric Dentist | 7+ years of experience
Dr. D. Manikandan has more than 7 years of experience in pediatric dentistry. Treating tooth decay in children and watching how their teeth develop are the main parts of this role.
Some children have teeth that come in late, extra teeth or teeth growing in the wrong place. Finding these early allows simple steps to be taken before bigger problems develop. Dr. Manikandan explains each step to children in a friendly way, helping them stay calm during treatment.
Dr. Chandrakantha Balaraman
BDS, MDS | Associate Pediatric Dentist | 5+ years of experience
Dr. Chandrakantha Balaraman has more than 5 years of experience in children’s dentistry. The main goal of this work is to stop decay before it begins.
This includes applying dental sealants, a thin protective coating that keeps food and germs out of the deep grooves on back teeth. Children are also shown how to brush and clean their teeth in a way that is easy to remember, so good habits continue at home.
Dr. Anunitha R
BDS, MDS (Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry) | Pediatric Dentist | 2 years of experience
Dr. Anunitha R completed BDS at Sri Ramachandra Dental College, Chennai, and MDS in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry at Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, Puducherry. She has 2 years of clinical experience.
She offers preventive and restorative care for children, with treatment plans built around each child’s needs. Calming nervous children and guiding them through treatment one step at a time is an important part of her work. She also supports orthodontic assessment through the SmileStream programme and helps parents set up healthy habits early in life.
Dr. Madhu Nandhini K
BDS, MDS (Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry) | Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Madhu Nandhini K completed BDS at Tagore Dental College and Hospital, Chennai, and MDS in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry at Government Dental College and Hospital, Patiala.
She provides complete dental care for children, including prevention, fillings, aesthetic treatment and care for injured teeth. Through the SmileStream programme, she also helps with early orthodontic assessment to spot crowding and bite problems. Every treatment is planned with care to keep children comfortable.
Dr. Jebarani Jeevitha S
BDS, MDS (Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiology) | Consultant Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiologist
Dr. Jebarani Jeevitha S completed BDS at J.K.K. Nataraja Dental College and Hospitals and MDS in Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiology at Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai.
Her work involves diagnosing and managing conditions of the soft lining of the mouth, such as non healing ulcers and patches that need monitoring, as well as pain in the face and jaw. Dental imaging supports each diagnosis. 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 BDS at Bharath University in 2021 and MDS in Endodontics at The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University in 2024.
Her focus is on saving teeth through root canal treatment. When the soft inner part of a tooth becomes infected, this treatment removes the infection and seals the tooth so it can continue to work normally. She also provides tooth coloured fillings, veneers and other treatments that improve the look of teeth.
Dr. Chandramouly
BDS | General Dentist
Dr. Chandramouly completed BDS at Sree Balaji Dental College and Hospital and is certified in Basic Life Support. His clinical experience includes work at Platinum Dentistry.
He offers general dental care with an emphasis on careful diagnosis, planning and preventive and restorative treatment. Patients are kept informed at each stage so they know what to expect.
Our Step by Step Treatment Process for Children
- Consultation. We talk with parents about the child’s health, habits and concerns, and let the child get used to the room and the team.
- Examination. The dentist checks the teeth, gums and bite. X rays are taken only when they are needed for diagnosis.
- Treatment plan. Parents receive a clear explanation of what was found, the treatment options and an estimate of cost and time.
- Treatment. Care is given at a pace the child can manage. Sedation or general anaesthesia is considered only when the dentist feels it is needed.
- Follow up. We review healing, share home care advice and set the date for the next checkup.
Services We Offer
- Preventive care: Checkups, cleaning, fluoride care and dental sealants.
- Restorative care: Tooth coloured fillings, crowns for damaged teeth and pulp treatment for milk teeth.

Keeping Every Visit Safe
Children’s safety comes first at every visit. Instruments are cleaned and sterilised after each use, and treatment areas are prepared fresh for every patient. X rays are taken only when needed. Sedation and general anaesthesia are used only after a careful check of the child’s health and a full discussion with parents.
What Shapes the Cost of Dental Treatment
Parents often ask what a visit to a dentist in India will cost. The answer depends on the child’s needs, so the fairest way to know is after an examination. A few factors affect the final cost.
- Type of treatment. Preventive care costs less than root canal treatment, crowns, braces or implants.
- Number of teeth. Treatment for several teeth costs more than for one.
- Materials. Fillings, crowns and aligners come in different materials with different prices.
- Need for sedation. Extra support during treatment adds to the cost.
- Timing. Problems treated early are usually simpler and cost less than problems left to grow.
Our team shares an estimate before treatment begins, so families can plan ahead.
Common Dental Problems in Children
These are some of the problems parents most often bring to a dentist in India. The good news is that many of them can be prevented or treated simply when found early.
- Tooth decay: Often caused by frequent sugary snacks, sweet drinks and night time bottle feeding.
- Gum swelling or bleeding: Usually a sign that plaque is building up along the gum line.
- Crowded or crooked teeth: May develop when milk teeth are lost early or the jaw is small.
- Thumb sucking and other habits: Can push teeth out of place if they continue past early childhood.
- Dental injuries: Falls and sports can chip, loosen or knock out teeth.
- Sensitivity: Sharp pain with hot, cold or sweet foods may point to decay or worn enamel.
When Should You Visit a Child Dentist in India?
The first dental visit should happen by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. After that, regular checkups every six months help most children. Book a visit sooner if your child has:
- Tooth pain or swelling of the gum or face
- Dark spots or holes in the teeth
- Bleeding gums while brushing
- Bad breath that does not go away
- Trouble chewing or crooked teeth
- A thumb sucking habit beyond the age of four
- Any injury to the teeth or mouth
Benefits of Visiting a Dentist in India Regularly
- Early detection. Small cavities and gum problems are found before they cause pain.
- Simpler treatment. Early care often means a small filling instead of a root canal.
- Healthy growth. Regular reviews help track how teeth and jaws are developing.
- Less fear. Familiar visits help children feel relaxed in the dental chair.
- Good habits. Children learn how to care for their teeth from people they trust.
Home Care Tips for Parents
- Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft, clean cloth after feeds, even before teeth appear.
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Use a rice grain sized smear under age three and a pea sized amount after that.
- Supervise brushing until your child is about seven or eight years old.
- Offer water instead of sweet drinks between meals.
- Do not let your child sleep with a bottle of milk or juice.
- Replace toothbrushes every three months.
