Words from the Expert
A child’s flawless smile is the best medicine in the world. My passion for the little smiles made me choose my career as a pediatric dentist. I love to explore the little one’s mind and always try to implement a positive attitude in their memory.
My main area of interest and research is “Management of dental anxiety in children”. I visit schools and conduct oral health intervention programme to create awareness in children about their dental health. I follow a game-based intervention and teach them the importance of the little smile.
I have created interacting games like the Dental play box, Snake and Ladder game customized with dental quotes. This has induced good realization in children about oral hygiene.
Today’s little capitalists are tomorrow’s torchbearers. So respect the little one’s smiles as they are the terrible two’s.
I feel very happy to post about Kids Oral Hygiene and Care at Twins and Me. Hope this will be of more help to the parents, wean away from the worries about their kid’s oral hygiene and create a new dimension in children about their oral health.
