Dr. Bhavsar has many scientific articles in connection with pediatric dentistry published in national and international journals. He has also won Best Paper Awards at national level, a remarkable feat not achieved by many. He was the only Indian to participate in the very prestigious Pediatric Dental Association of Asia held in Bangkok, Thailand, 2004. His write-ups have featured regularly in professional journals, health magazines, national newspapers like Times of India and regional newspapers like Janmabhoomi Pravasi, Mumbai Metro etc.

He is also honoured by being the first and only Pediatric Dentist so far to have been inducted in the elite and exclusive Association of Medical Consultants (AMC), Mumbai. He currently is an Affiliate member of the ADA (American Dental Association), an active member of IAPD (International Association of Pediatric Dentistry) and also has been an active member of BDHF (British Dental Health Foundation) in the past.

Dr. Bhavsar has been in practice since 1993. He has his own dental set up at Ghatkopar. He is also a Consultant Pediatric Dentist since 2001 at the highly reputed Lilavati Hospital (one of the leading hospitals of India). His emphasis and stress on dentistry aimed at children and adolescents stems from the fact that dental health in the society is as such neglected by and large and dental health of children, moreover, is accorded the least priority, which is a serious neglect. But now after almost 2 decades, Dr. Bhavsar has been able to put the confident smiles back onto the faces of scores of children, many of whom have by now grown into lively healthy adults. Dr. Bhavsar takes painstaking care and effort to liberally imbibe relevant inputs from the AAPD (Americal Academy of Pediatric Dentistry), SMA Nutrition United Kingdom, Sugar Association Inc. USA, & other informative resources as guidelines in his approach towards practicing Pediatric Dentistry & patients/parents education and awareness as will be evident in this website.

 

The basic tenets of Pediatric Dentistry are :

a. Each and every child has a fundamental right to his / her total oral health and we as pediatric dentists have an obligation to fulfill this faith.

b. The idea of dentistry for children is not only to get the required dental health restored in a child but also to instill a positive dental outlook and attitude.

c. Since pediatric dentistry is a specialty involving both the parents and children, the parents automatically become a part of their children’s dental health program. It is imperative that the parents get well informed and aware so as to assist their children into positive behavior and inculcate proper oral health habits.

Moreover, pediatric dentistry involves interaction with pediatricians, psychologists and other concerned consultants. Dr. Bhavsar enjoys excellent rapport and direct personal interaction and association with many leading pediatricians of Mumbai.

Dr. Bhavsar also has had the opportunity of personally treating the children of some of the very prominent  & reputed Pediatric Surgeons, Uro Surgeons, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Gynaecologist as well as children of fellow dentists & anaesthetists.
