Hi youtube family, my name is Anupama and I'm a Pediatric Dentist. I started this channel as a way to help parents with young kids in maintaining a good oral hygiene and healthy oral habits for their children. I also want to educate parents and bring awareness about the importance of milk teeth/baby teeth.
There's still so much misconception about milk teeth and because they're not our permanent teeth, not everyone gives priority to those teeth & having dental decay in those milk teeth can adversely affect the quality of life of your children.
I want my channel to be the one spot for all your dental concerns for your little one. In case of enquiries you can always reach out to me by my email listed below:
the.parentingdentist@ gmail.com
Also, don't forget to follow me on instagram:

4 things you will NEVER find in my house 🦷🚫 (pediatric dentist edition)
As a pediatric dentist, I think a lot about what actually keeps little (and big!) smiles healthy long-term. And sometimes that means skipping things people assume are “good” for teeth 👇
1️⃣ Alcohol-based mouthwash
Harsh, drying, and not kid-friendly. It can disrupt the natural balance in the mouth and isn’t necessary for most people—especially children. Gentle, fluoride-based rinses (when age-appropriate) are a much better choice.
2️⃣ Teeth whitening toothpaste
Sounds great in theory, but many are abrasive and can wear down enamel over time. For kids (and even adults with sensitivity), protecting enamel always comes first.
3️⃣ Manual hard-bristle toothbrush
Hard bristles ≠ better cleaning. In fact, they can damage enamel and irritate gums. Soft bristles + proper technique = healthier teeth, every time.
4️⃣ Toothpicks
Easy to misuse and can harm gums if you’re not careful. Floss (or kid-friendly flossers) does a much safer, more effective job.
Healthy habits don’t have to be complicated—just intentional 💡
Save this for your next dental supply check & share with a parent who needs to see this!
Since this post was cropped out of proportion in my YouTube shorts, cutting out some of the words from it, I thought I will share it here as a post so all the pictures are clearly visible. I hope this helps ☺️
