When Should You Take Your Baby to a Dentist in Mumbai?

Your baby is your pride and every achievement is a badge of honor. Even the first tooth makes your chest burst with pride. Besides visiting the pediatrician, you should also make it a point to visit the dentist. But for many new parents, the question is when should they take their baby to a dentist in Mumbai. If you have the same question, read on to find out the answer.  

With every milestone, your baby accomplishes, you are going to feel a sense of achievement and pride. However, nothing is going to prepare you for the feeling you experience when you take your baby head to a dentist in Mumbai for the very first time. You are sure to feel a sense of triumph that you have made it successfully through this difficult road but you are also going to feel a sense of dread. Above all, you need the answer to the question – when should you take your baby to a dentist? First of all, relax, this is what you need to know.

As soon as the first tooth appears

It can feel like it is a bit too soon but trust us when we say this is important. However, you can also extend it till their first birthday. This is because when your baby gets teeth, the chances that they can develop cavities increases. It is important to be proactive during this time so that you can ensure their smile stays healthy and happy always or at least their dental health begins on a good note. 

Preparation is key

Interact with your child about what is going to happen and keep things positive. Have them practice opening their mouth so that they do a good job at the dentist’s clinic. To ease their mind of worries, let them watch videos or read books. This helps them become more confident and less fretful.

During the visit 

The dentist is going to examine their teeth and ensure that the jaw and teeth are developing properly. The dentist is also going to check for cavities, mouth injuries, and other kinds of issues. After this is done, they clean your child’s teeth as well as let you know about tips that are going to make it easy to look after their mouth in the best way possible. 

It is important to go in for an appointment at a time that best suits your child. Refrain from doing this when it is their nap time as they are bound to get cranky. Also, do not worry too much in case your child wriggles or cries a little during the examination. The dental team knows what they are going into and will make sure that they help your child understand this experience in the best way possible. The sooner you take your child to the dentist, the better it is. There is no need to wait for the first tooth to erupt.

I’m so glad I found Aesthetic Smiles and Dr Ritika. Don’t hesitate, just come and be taken care of. I lost my front teeth 50 years ago and since have had dentures and later bridges. I haven’t been able to bite for 50 years. Wow , I sure can now😃🥩. Everything is up front and there are no hidden costs. In Australia I had been quoted 5 times the cost for 4 on top and 4 on bottom. Here I have 6 on 6 plus a 7th spare fitted just in case on the bottom which was not needed in the finals . The top six includes two zirgomatic implants. Dr Ritika and her team really care and are lovely people. I will always remember the lovely nurse singing to me as she was helping.😃 On the door is written come as patients leave as friends, well they really mean that. All the very best, Ian.🌹🌹🌹🌹

Outstanding, professional dental care. After years of dental issues and losing several teeth, I’d seen a number of dentists in Australia. One even told me I should start saving for the inevitable need for dental implants. After doing a lot of research, I narrowed it down to Aesthetic Smiles in Mumbai, India. Before I made my decision, I spoke with several real former patients, and hearing about their experiences gave me the confidence to go ahead. In June 2024, I travelled from Australia to Mumbai for treatment. I arrived with a whole range of dental problems and, just 14 days later, left with a fantastic set of temporary teeth while my All-on-6 implants healed and integrated with the bone. Right from the start, I was really impressed by the confidence, professionalism, and expertise of Dr. Arora and her team. Any worries I had about going overseas for treatment quickly disappeared. Throughout the whole process, I felt genuinely looked after and supported. I came back a year later to have my permanent teeth fitted. I now have All-on-6 implants in both my upper and lower jaws, along with a smile I haven’t had since my twenties. I couldn’t be happier with the result. The care was personal, the service was excellent, and the bedside manner was second to none. The value for money was incredible, and the results have truly changed my life. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for Dr. Arora and the whole team at Aesthetic Smiles. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking about dental implants.

I live in Melbourne Australia. After 35 yrs of having partial dentures and suffering pain & discomfort I decided to look into Implants. I was quoted for All on 6 top & lower for an astronomical amount & told I'd also need bone grafting & sinus lift. Luckily I found Aesethic Smiles Mumbai & Dr Ritika. After a consultation with her, I was quoted an exact price (1/4 of home ) & told I can get Zygamats which eliminated the need for bone grafting & sinus lift. Also fitted tempories instead of dentures for 6 months. I received Strauman Implants & Zirconian teeth which are the best quality. I am extremely happy with every aspect of my 2 treatments.. The specialists & The nurses along with Dr Ritika are world class professionals. Don't hesitate as long as I did. I regret that. You will be taken care of from the time you arrive, picked up from the airport & each appointment picked up & returned. Thankyou Dr Ritika & Staff for your kind & caring treatment to me both visits. A big Smile from me. 😁

My name is Stephanie and I am from New Zealand. I visited Aesthetic Smiles for my dental treatment with Dr. Rikita. Before starting my treatment, I had lost all my teeth due to illness and I was facing issues with a unstable bottom plate. The biggest problem was not being able to eat solid food and I was too embarrassed to leave home without teeth. After extensive research, I chose Aesthetic Smiles because amongst others was ability to speak to the doctor herself about my situation and she was so understanding. On arrival I was amazed at their modern setup, including digital technology and in-house 3D scans, which confirmed that i had made the right decision. I underwent All-on-6 dental implant treatment, which was done in two phases. My experience during the procedure was daunting initially, but the overall process was amazing. The team and doctor were very kind, understandung and comforting while still being so professional, and it made me feel safe throughout my treatment. Now that I have my final zirconia teeth, I feel fantastic and can't stop smiling. The biggest difference I notice in my daily life is the confidence i now have. This doctor is a perfectionist resulting in the best ever outcome. I would highly recommend Aesthetic Smiles to anyone battling with teeth issues because this team is absolutely fantastic.

Hello, my name is Matt (68 yrs) from Wodonga, Australia and just completed all on 6, top and bottom, full dental implants after the deterioration and removal of damaged teeth over a number of years during my earlier life. I have now returned from Mumbai, after my 2nd visit, a very happy man with my new permanent teeth, a nice bright smile and being able to chew and eat all normal food again!! All this thanks to Dr. Ritika and her wonderful team at Aesthetic Smiles. I can honestly say that my experience was as smooth as anyone could wish for. Except for some initial bruising during my first visit that disappeared after a week, the whole process for me was pain free. Financially the cost compared to Australia enables international patients to have top of the tree A1 treatment that will be life-changing. The manner in which Dr.Ritika and her team puts you at ease is remarkable. All questions or concerns are clearly explained to allay any worries or wonderings. The clinic itself has all the latest equipment and technology that allows you to get instant feed-back and allows Dr. Ritika to outline a clear, precise and highly professional individual dental plan on your first visit. During both of my visits (July 2025 &Jan. 2026) I was picked up and dropped off at the airport and picked up and dropped off at my motel for every appointment to Dr. Ritika’s clinic. This service does take away any travel stress you might have around Mumbai. A very important aspect of the process is that during your treatment, there will be other patients there at the same time going through the same process as you are. I found this so helpful and reassuring to have other patients to talk to, especially back at the motel over breakfast or tea. I stayed at the Sea Princess Hotel ( recommended by Dr. Ritika) for both my visits and so did many of the other Australian patients. The Sea Princess has a wonderful international breakfast buffet that I highly recommend!!!! I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Ritika and her wonderful and joyful team for anyone considering dental implants treatment. You will receive outstanding professional treatment in a highly up to date equipped clinic that will leave you with a huge smile that importantly is affordable. Good luck Matt P.S. A huge thankyou to Stacee who was so helpful with travel advice, visa help, hotel advice and things to do in Mumbai. Much appreciated! Cheers, Matt

I realised my teeth were nearing the end of their usable life. I made the decision to find a reputable dental implant centre. I couldn't afford to have it done in Australia so I looked elsewhere. After much research, Aesthetic Smiles were the stand out. They put me on their Facebook page with others that were travelling to Mumbai at the same time. That really put my mind at rest to a point. You don't really know till you get there. I spoke to Ritika (the dentist) over the phone & she talked to me about the procedure. Once there, a driver picked me up from the airport & the next day, I had my first visit. It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought. After the first week I got my temps which actually looked great. Six months later, I was back for my permanent beautiful teeth. Ritika & the staff were so professional & friendly. I was put at ease straight away & I have nothing but praise for them all. Ritika is a miracle worker & I can smile again. Thank you so much. 😁

My Aesthetic Smiles Journey 😁 After what felt like forever researching clinics in Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Bali, and India (yes, I went deep down the dental rabbit hole!), I finally found Aesthetic Smiles — and from my first chat with Dr. Ritika, I knew she was the one I could trust with my smile. Dr. Ritika is a world-class professional — warm, genuine, and patient. She explained everything clearly and made me feel completely confident. Every step — from extractions to implants, fittings to follow-ups — was handled with care, precision, and kindness. I was given a fully inclusive price upfront, which did not change. It even covered airport pick-up/drop-off and hotel transfers for every appointment. Other clinics only gave indicative quotes, but not on Dr. Ritika’s watch! She confirmed my price before I even flew over, after reviewing my X-rays. Huge thanks to Dr. Ritika, I couldn’t be happier. The results speak for themselves — and I can finally say it, I love my smile! 😄✨
