"We visited Gia Clinic for my 8-year-old daughter's root canal treatment, and the entire experience was exceptional. Dr. Lalitya was extremely gentle, patient, and understanding. She took special care to comfort my daughter, who was quite nervous in the beginning."

"The way Dr. Lalitya explained every step, used calm words, and built trust before starting the procedure really made a big difference. My daughter felt safe and confident throughout."

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

When should my child first see a dentist?

Ideally when the first tooth comes in, or by the first birthday. Early visits help catch problems and get children used to the dentist.

Do baby teeth really need fillings?

Yes. Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help with eating and speech, and untreated decay can cause pain and infection.

What if my child is scared?

Dr Lalitya is trained in behaviour management and takes things step by step. For some children, conscious sedation may be discussed.

What are sealants?

Sealants are thin coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They help keep food and germs out of the grooves.
