Why Choose Us

What Makes Child Smile Care Different?

Child Smile Care is not just a dental clinic—it is a space designed from a child’s perspective.

Infant Dental Care

Early Care for Your Baby's First Smile

  • Warm, welcoming interiors
  • Calming, non-threatening setup
  • Attention to sounds, lights and surroundings to reduce anxiety

We encourage parents to introduce the clinic as a friendly place where “teeth are taken care of”, not as a place to fear.

  • Emphasis on early detection and conservative treatment
  • Use of child-friendly explanations and the “tell–show–do” approach
  • Aim to keep discomfort to a minimum during all procedures

Our objective is to ensure that children leave the clinic feeling proud and confident.

We use specialised behaviour guidance techniques to help children:

  • Understand what is happening in simple, age-appropriate language
  • Feel more in control of the situation
  • Build trust over repeated visits

Fearful or previously uncooperative children are gradually guided towards successful, stress-free dental appointments.

For specially abled children, we focus on:

  • Understanding their sensory preferences and triggers
  • Working closely with parents and caregivers
  • Adjusting pace, posture, communication and environment

Our aim is to make dental care accessible, safe and comfortable for every child, regardless of their needs.

First visit

Our Process

The first visit is usually short, gentle and focused on getting to know your child. We recommend scheduling it around 2 years of age, or earlier if you notice anything unusual.

FAQ

Children's Teeth - Just What you Wanted to know...

Children teeth development timeline View All FAQ's
Why are children's teeth important?

Children have 2 sets of teeth - primary or 'Milk' teeth & Permanent. Both are important for chewing, speech & for appearance. Additionally, milk teeth are not only important for proper development of muscles for chewing & keeping space available but also for growth of jaw bones for permanent teeth to erupt into their right positions.

When do teeth appear in the mouth?

Generally by the age of 2 years all the 20 milk teeth erupt. They fall between the age of 7 and 12 years and are replaced by permanent teeth & the first one of these erupts at the age of 6 years and is called the first permanent molar - this is a very important tooth in the arch. All the 20 teeth are replaced by permanent teeth and additional 8 molars erupt behind by the age of 14 years except 'wisdom teeth' which usually erupt between the age of 18 to 25 years. So between the age of 6 & 12 years a child has both milk & permanent teeth in the mouth, this is called the 'Mixed' Dentition. Parents of these children often mistakenly think that the tooth though decayed may be allowed to fall as "it will come again."

Does tooth eruption cause illness?

Many parents think that the fever, diarrhoea children get while teeth are erupting is because of teething. This is only a coincidence. At this age children are very active & tend to put everything into the mouth. This causes infection around the erupting teeth & upsets stomach.

What is the right age for correcting alignment of teeth?

It would differ from case to case but the commonest is 12-13 years. Many times early commencement of treatment gives better result but treatment is possible at an older age also, or sometime at young age.

Highly recommend Dr. Swati! We took our 3-year-old for a cavity treatment, and the experience was seamless. Dr. Swati prioritised our child's comfort from the start, performing the checkup right on her mother’s lap. The entire treatment took just 10 minutes—completely painless and without tears. My daughter didn't even realize the filling was being done. Dr. Swati combines genuine competence with an exceptional, patient-first temperament. A rare and fantastic doctor. Highly recommend!

Pediatric Dentistry
Dr Monal Chaudhari

Dr. Swati Karkare is truly one of the most genuine, caring, and cheerful doctors I have ever met.

My son is 9 years old, and before the treatment he was extremely scared. Like most children, he was worried that it would hurt and that he would have to take injections, so he was not ready for the procedure at all. However, from the moment we entered the clinic, Dr. Swati made him feel comfortable. She engaged him in friendly conversations, kept him relaxed, and gradually took away all his fear.

Dr Sandip Chincholikar

We consulted Dr Swati Karkare madam for our 3 years old child when he started getting cavity in his teeth. We were so worried about his dental health. Dr Swati Madam did filling and preserved his teeth. Her mastery in handling children on that fearful dental chair is at par. She also guided us nicely about dental care in future for prevention from getting cavities. Thank you Dr Swati Karkare madam. You are the best Pediatric dentist in Nashik.

Overall it’s been a delightful experience.. Dr Swati’s exceptional way of handling took away the nervousness out of my kids mind. My kids are very comfortable and although we stay in Navi Mumbai, they prefer taking consultation from Dr Swati rather than the nearby dentist. Thank you so much😊😊
