Rohini Dhar, BDS, DDS

“I believe that having a positive dental experience at a young age is extremely important and with every patient, I commit to delivering the same. These early experiences establish lifelong dental habits and a positive experience can potentially alleviate dental anxiety that some carry even into their adulthood. My goal as a Pediatric Dentist is to create an environment that is comfortable and pleasant for my patients white introducing dental behaviors and lifestyles that lead to confident smiles. I sincerely believe that a beautiful smile is not only a reflection of good dental health but it also boosts confidence and facilitates self-assurance in young adults.”
