With nearly 15 years of experience dealing with patients of all ages, Dr Rana aims to banish any fears people have of the dentist. She uses kindness and gentleness to dispel any fears lurking in her patients, as she understands that visiting the dentist can be scary and uncomfortable. Her aim is to build rapport with children, to earn their trust, acquire their cooperation, and to instill in the child’s mind a positive attitude about visiting the dentist.
During a dental visit, she maintains continuous communication with the child (and parents). Her approach is to examine and treat children in ways that make them comfortable.
Educating the parents about the importance of good oral habits and preventative measures like tooth brushing with fluoridated toothpaste, and diet recommendations, fluoride application and regular check-ups every 3- 6 months, is fundamental in her practice. She dispels myths around ‘baby teeth’ by highlighting the impact that decayed teeth can have on the quality of a child’s life in general and encourages parents to be more vigilant about baby teeth to ensure the overall wellbeing of the child.
