Children's dentistry in India

Updated 4 November 2026

In India a children's dental examination costs from about ₹500, and sealants are about ₹800 to ₹2,000 per tooth. Fillings are priced per tooth, and a paediatric root canal treatment can reach about ₹5,400 at one clinic's price list. For current prices near you, describe your child's needs in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Qualifications and what to check

Dentists in India must complete a recognised BDS degree and apply to the State Dental Council before they can practise, according to a licensing guide. A paediatric dentist has three extra years of training after graduation, according to one college's description. Ask for the registration number and whether the dentist is a paediatric specialist before you book.

Season and the climate

India is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Tell the clinic about any recent illness, since it can change the plan for sedation and the timing of treatment. A clinic with air conditioning also helps a nervous child wait comfortably in the heat.

How treatment is priced here

Fillings and sealants are quoted per tooth, so the number of teeth changes the total. Ask for the examination fee separately, and ask whether pain relief or sedation is included or charged extra. Some clinics price a full course of treatment, so compare the total, not only the first visit.

What to put in your request

Say your child's age, the issue, the treatment you think is needed, and which teeth are affected. Add how your child behaves at the dentist, whether pain relief or sedation is wanted, when you can come, your area in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai, the experience you want from the dentist, and your budget. These details help clinics quote a real price for your child.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe your child's needs in your own words in a chat, and the AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India. It then shows the prices and clinics it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them.
