Dr. Rachaita Chhabra
Pediatric Dentist (MDS)
Dr. Rachaita Chhabra completed her Masters in Pediatric Dentistry from AB Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences in 2018, and has been caring for families in Mira Road since.
She is trained in handling apprehensive and fearful children, with further training in conscious sedation and general anesthesia for dental treatment. She provides root canal treatment and crowns for children, fillings, extractions and space maintainers, myofunctional therapy and preventive care like sealants and fluoride treatment. She has completed observerships in Anesthesiology and Pediatrics.
She believes no child should grow up fearing the dentist - and most of her little patients leave asking when they can come back.
