The clinic will offer expert care for children’s oral health with early diagnosis, consultation, and procedures for children ~

Ankura Hospital has taken a momentous step in pediatric healthcare with the launch of a specialized Pediatric Dental OPD clinic at its Rasta Peth, Pune center. The clinic is designed to provide comprehensive dental care for children, addressing the growing need for specialized oral health services.

With an uptick in children having cavities, and gum disease, early intervention and expert treatment have become the need of the hour. Access to dental clinics for children is not a distant dream now.  This newly launched clinic ensures that young patients receive the best preventive and corrective dental care under one roof.

Dr. Abhinav  Talekar, Consultant Pediatric & Preventive Dentist, says,” Our new Pediatric Dental OPD Clinic is armed with the latest technology and experienced specialists to provide services right from preventive care to advanced dental treatments for children up to 15 years.  Early diagnosis and timely intervention can prevent serious dental complications and aid children to grow up with healthy and strong teeth.”

The Specialized Pediatric Dental OPD  Clinic will offer a wide range of services, including:

Preventive care: Routine dental checkups, fluoride treatments, and oral hygiene education to promote healthy teeth.

Cavity and decay management: Diagnosis and treatment of cavities, tooth decay, and enamel damage.

 Orthodontic consultations: Early assessment and correction of dental alignment issues.

Advanced dental procedures: Painless extractions, root canal treatments, and gum care for children.

Child-friendly setting: A welcoming space designed to ease dental anxiety and make visits enjoyable where children feel relaxed

Tongue tie management with lactation consultants under one roof.

Laughing gas centre and management for special health care needs.

Dr.  Abhinav Talekar highlights, “7 out of 10” children aged 5- 15 years visiting me at the OPD are having orthodontic issues and even obstructive sleep apnea problems now. Not paying attention to dental problems in children at an early stage can lead to crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth, sensitive teeth impacting the child’s mental well-being. If caries are not managed at an early level it can lead to early loss of milk teeth.”

“Dental health is an essential part of a child’s overall well-being, yet it is often neglected. Just like other health concerns, dental issues should be treated at the right time to prevent long-term complications. At Ankura, we offer advanced pediatric dental care with state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring early diagnosis, preventive treatments, and specialized care for children, helping them maintain healthy teeth and gums from an early age,” underscores Dr Umesh Vaidya, Group Director And Head Of Neonatology.

“Ankura is at the forefront of pediatric and neonatal care, equipped with the latest medical innovations to ensure the best treatment for newborns and children.  Our goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate, and technologically advanced care so that every child gets the best chance at a healthy and fulfilling life,” says Dr Siddharth Madabhushi, Consultant Neonatologist & Pediatrician.

At Ankura Hospital, we pledge to address dental issues in children with advanced treatment, facilities, and care. We will educate parents and children on proper oral hygiene, provide customized treatment plans, and ensure a stress-free dental experience.
