At Smile Specialists Dental Clinic, we specialize in pulp therapy for children’s primary (milk) teeth to treat deep cavities or trauma before permanent teeth erupt. Led by Dr. Saumil Mogre, our pediatric dental specialist, we focus on pain-free, minimally invasive techniques that preserve natural teeth, maintain proper space, and ensure healthy oral development. Using advanced biocompatible materials, GIC, LC GIC, and stainless steel crowns when needed, we restore tooth function and prevent infections while keeping your child comfortable.
