Special & sedation care
Special needs dental care in Kharghar, at your child's pace
Every child is different, and some need the dental visit shaped around them. Whether your child is autistic, has ADHD, sensory differences, a medical condition or a physical disability, we start with what you know about them and build the visit from there.
You know your child best. We plan the visit with you, not around a clock.
- Always
- Parents stay in the room, from hello to goodbye
Children we care for
If your child needs a little more time, patience or planning, they are welcome here.
Autistic children, and children waiting for an assessment.
Children with ADHD, or who find it hard to sit still for long.
Sensory differences: sensitivity to sound, light, touch, taste or texture.
Medical conditions such as heart conditions, epilepsy, bleeding disorders or diabetes.
Physical and developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
How we shape the visit
Tell us about them
When you book, tell us what helps, what does not, and what usually upsets your child, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Small steps, many visits
A first visit may be just coming in, sitting in the chair or opening wide. Each small win makes the next visit easier.
Treatment, when ready
When your child is ready, we treat in short, predictable steps, with breaks whenever they are needed.
Extra support if needed
Laughing gas or general anaesthesia are there for children who need them, always discussed with you first.
In detail

Why dental care can be harder, and matters more
Brushing can be a daily battle for a child who dislikes having things in their mouth. Some medicines are sweetened or leave the mouth dry, and some children eat a very limited range of foods. All of these raise the risk of decay.
Children who cannot easily tell you about pain may show it in other ways: refusing food, rubbing their face, disturbed sleep or a change in behaviour. Regular, calm check-ups catch problems before they reach that point.
Making visits easier
- Show your child photographs of the clinic before the visit, or tell them a simple story of what will happen.
- Bring comfort items: a favourite toy, headphones, sunglasses or a weighted blanket.
- Tell us what time of day usually suits your child best.
- Practise "open wide" and counting teeth at home, as a game.
- Keep visits short and regular. Familiar is easier.
Brushing at home, made possible
- Try different brushes, such as a soft, three-sided or electric brush, until you find one your child accepts.
- Choose a mild or unflavoured fluoride toothpaste if strong mint is too much.
- Brush in the same place, in the same order, at the same time each day.
- Use a visual timer or our two-minute brushing game to show when brushing ends.
Medical needs and safety
Share your child’s full medical history, medicines and allergies with us before treatment. Some conditions change how dental care should be planned, for example certain heart conditions or bleeding disorders.
Where needed, we will talk to your child’s doctor so that treatment is planned safely, and explain every decision to you along the way.
Questions, answered
If yours is not here, call the clinic and ask. Nothing about a child’s teeth or comfort is too small to check.
Call +91 96190 00971Do you treat autistic children?
Yes. We take time to learn what helps your child, keep visits predictable, and move at their pace, even if the first few visits are simply about getting comfortable.
My child will not let anyone near their mouth. Is it worth coming?
Yes. We do not force a visit into one appointment. Sometimes the win is simply sitting in the chair and coming back feeling safe, and each visit builds on the last.
Can I stay with my child?
Always. Your child can sit with you, hold your hand, or have you nearby while they find their feet.
What if my child needs treatment but cannot cope with it awake?
Then we talk about laughing gas, which keeps them awake but relaxed, or treatment under general anaesthesia for children who need it. We go through the options with you first.
Should I tell you about my child's diagnosis before the visit?
Please do, along with anything that helps or upsets them. The more we know beforehand, the better we can plan a visit that works for your child.
