Dental visits don’t have to be scary for children. At True Smilez, we provide child-friendly dental care with conscious sedation options for children who need extra support staying calm and comfortable during treatment.
A dental appointment can feel overwhelming for a child, especially when they are anxious, fearful, or need a longer procedure.
At True Smilez Dental Clinic in Mohali, we understand that children need more than just dental treatment. They need patience, reassurance, and an environment where they feel safe.
Our pediatric dental care focuses on making treatment easier for children and less stressful for parents. When appropriate, conscious sedation may be considered to help an anxious child remain calm and comfortable while staying responsive during treatment.
Before recommending sedation, our team evaluates your child’s dental needs, health history, age, and anxiety level to determine the most appropriate approach.
Some children become nervous simply hearing the word “dentist.”
Conscious sedation can be considered for children who have significant dental anxiety, difficulty cooperating during treatment, or require procedures that may otherwise feel overwhelming.
The goal is not to put your child completely to sleep. Depending on the sedation method and clinical assessment, conscious sedation is intended to help the child feel more relaxed while remaining responsive.
At True Smilez, we first discuss your child’s needs with you and explain the treatment and sedation approach before proceeding.
A calm and supportive approach can help children feel more comfortable during their dental visit.
When conscious sedation is clinically appropriate, it may help reduce anxiety and improve cooperation during treatment.
Every child responds differently. Treatment and sedation decisions are made according to the child's individual needs.
We explain dental care in language children can understand and give them time to become comfortable with the environment.
Parents are kept informed about the proposed treatment, sedation approach, preparation, and aftercare.
Our goal is to help children develop healthier attitudes toward dental care so future visits can become easier and more comfortable.
We start by talking with you and getting to know your child's dental concern, behaviour, and previous dental experiences.
Our team examines your child's teeth, gums, and overall oral health while keeping the visit as comfortable as possible.
We explain the recommended treatment and discuss whether additional support, including conscious sedation, may be appropriate.
The planned dental treatment is carried out with an approach designed around your child's comfort and cooperation.
We monitor your child's recovery when sedation is used and explain the aftercare instructions you need to follow at home.
Choosing a dentist for your child is about more than qualifications. Parents want someone who will listen, explain, and treat their child with patience.
Dr. Shikha Atri, lead dentist at True Smilez Dental Clinic, has been practicing dentistry since 2009 and is an MDS Orthodontist. The clinic describes her approach as gentle, patient-centered, and focused on explaining treatment clearly.
At True Smilez, the dental team understands that every child responds differently to treatment. That’s why care is planned around the child’s dental needs, comfort level, and individual circumstances.
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of children from infancy through their developing years. It includes preventive care, dental examinations, cavity treatment, oral hygiene guidance, and other treatments appropriate for children.
It's generally beneficial for children to have an early dental assessment so that their teeth and oral development can be monitored and parents can receive guidance on healthy dental habits.
Conscious sedation is a technique that may help an anxious child become more relaxed during dental treatment while remaining conscious and responsive. The appropriate sedation method depends on the child's individual circumstances.
No. Conscious sedation and general anesthesia are different approaches. Conscious sedation is intended to reduce anxiety and improve comfort while the child remains responsive, whereas general anesthesia involves a much deeper state of unconsciousness.
It may be considered for children with significant dental anxiety, difficulty cooperating with treatment, certain special needs, or when a longer or more complex dental procedure is required. Suitability must be determined by the treating dental team after assessing the child.
You can contact True Smilez Dental Clinic at +91 99152 28188 to discuss your child's dental needs and schedule an appointment. The clinic currently lists Monday–Saturday hours of 10:00 AM–8:00 PM.
