What is MDS Pediatric Dentistry?

Why This Degree Matters for Your Child

In India, after completing BDS (5 years), a dentist can do an MDS — a 3-year post-graduate programme where they specialise in one field. Dr. Devendra chose Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry.

This means he spent 3 additional years studying only children's dental health — growth and development, complex cases, hospital-level behaviour management, research, and the most advanced techniques available.

When Dr. Sayli encounters a particularly complex case — a child needing treatment under sedation, a medically compromised patient, or a difficult diagnosis — Dr. Devendra is the specialist she consults.

Think of it Like This

A paediatrician is to a general doctor what Dr. Devendra is to a general dentist — but one level further. His MDS in Pediatric Dentistry is the equivalent of a super-specialist children's doctor. For complex cases, this expertise is invaluable.

Dr. Devendra's Expertise Covers

🦷

Complex Pulp Therapy Cases
Cases where the decay is deep, the tooth anatomy is unusual, or previous treatment has complicated things

💊

Medically Compromised Children
Children on blood thinners, with heart conditions, diabetes, cleft palate, or other systemic conditions requiring special protocols

🧠

Special Needs Patients
Children with autism, cerebral palsy, ADHD, or developmental disabilities — where standard behaviour management is not enough

🔬

Preventive Programmes
Designing fluoride and sealant protocols, early orthodontic interception, and habit-breaking interventions at the right age

😴

Sedation Dentistry Guidance
Assessing which children need treatment under sedation or general anaesthesia — and coordinating the safest pathway

How to See Dr. Devendra

Regular Tuesday Evening Consultations

Dr. Devendra visits Tulip Kids Dental every Tuesday evening for regular consultation. This is the easiest way to see him — call or WhatsApp to book your Tuesday slot.

By Special Appointment

For complex cases, emergency referrals from Dr. Sayli, or if your child has a specific need that requires his specialist input, he is available by special appointment on other days. Call 97689 58636 to enquire.

When Dr. Sayli Refers

Sometimes, during treatment, Dr. Sayli may recommend a joint consultation with Dr. Devendra. This happens for complex pulp therapies, difficult extractions, or any case where a second specialist opinion adds value. This is a sign of excellent clinical practice — not a problem.

Most Children Only Need Dr. Sayli

The vast majority of children — routine checkups, fillings, fluoride treatments, caps, and standard pulp therapy — are well within Dr. Sayli's expertise. Dr. Devendra is your safety net for the complex cases. Having him on-call is one reason Tulip Kids Dental can confidently say: your child gets specialist-level care for any situation.

FAQs

Questions About Dr. Devendra

Most children should book with Dr. Sayli first. She handles all routine and most complex cases. If she feels Dr. Devendra's specialist input is needed, she will refer internally — you don't need to decide this yourself.

Both are post-graduate qualifications. MDS is a 3-year university degree programme — the highest academic qualification in the field. A fellowship is a practical training programme, often 6–12 months, focused on clinical skills. Both are excellent; MDS adds a deeper research and academic dimension.
