MDS Pediatric Dentistry — a 3-year post-graduate specialist degree in children's dentistry
Available Tuesday evenings & by special appointment. Call ahead to confirm.
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 current techniques.
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.
A paediatrician is to a general doctor what a pediatric dentist (MDS) is to a general dentist. For complex cases, that extra training makes a real difference.
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.
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 +91 97689 58636 to enquire.
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. It is a normal part of careful clinical practice — not a problem.
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: an MDS pediatric dentist is available in-house when your child needs one.
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 post-graduate degree — the specialist 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.
