Kids Dentist in Gurgaon and South Delhi
Children’s dentistry at Nanda Dental Clinic, Golf Course Road, Gurgaon and Defence Colony, South Delhi. Most children are seen by Dr. Smriti Nanda, an orthodontist, so growth and bite are checked at every visit, not just cavities.
First consultation is free. We usually reply on WhatsApp within a few hours, Monday to Saturday.
What we do for children
- Check-ups and cleaning, with advice on brushing and diet that parents can actually use.
- Treating cavities and toothache in milk teeth and new adult teeth.
- Early orthodontic assessment around age 7: crowding, crossbites, thumb-sucking effects.
- Braces and Invisalign for teenagers when the time is right.
Dr. Smriti Nanda
Dr. Smriti Nanda, MDS Orthodontics and an Invisalign Diamond Provider, has spoken on NDTV Lifeline about children’s dental health. Seeing an orthodontist early means problems with how the teeth and jaws are growing are spotted while they are easier to guide.
Making the visit easy
- At Golf Course Road, ceiling screens let children watch a show while we work.
- No putty impressions: a quick 3D scan if moulds are needed.
- Laughing gas is available for anxious patients where the dentist judges it suitable.

When to bring your child
- First dental visit: when the first tooth appears, or by their first birthday.
- Regular check-ups: usually every six months.
- First orthodontic check: around age 7, when early bite problems can be spotted. Read when a child should see an orthodontist.
Protecting children’s teeth from decay
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste: a smear for under-threes, a pea-sized amount after that.
- Keep sweets, juices and sticky snacks to mealtimes rather than all day. See chocolates and oral health.
- Don’t put a baby to bed with a bottle of milk or juice.
- Sealants on the back teeth help protect the grooves where decay often starts.
Why baby teeth matter
Baby teeth hold space for the adult teeth, help children chew and speak properly, and decay in them can cause pain and infection. Losing them too early can lead to crowding later, so they are worth looking after even though they fall out.
Teenagers
Many teenagers can straighten their teeth with Invisalign or braces. Dr. Smriti, an orthodontist, plans these treatments herself.
