We believe that a child's lifetime of happy, healthy smiles begins with a positive relationship with a pediatric dentist. Arvind Shanadi, DMD is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist who understands that you want to be involved in your child's oral health - and he feels that parents are the best advocate for their children. That's why you are always allowed to come back with your child for treatment.
Neither you nor your child will be rushed through an appointment. We want you to be involved! Smile Safari is independent and locally owned. We are located in East Dallas and serve children throughout the communities of Lake Highlands, Lakewood, Casa Linda, Forest Hills, University Park, Highland Park, and White Rock. Dr. Shanadi isn't focused on talking parents into complicated, costly dental procedures.
His first goal is education and prevention. Whenever possible, we will often suggest keeping a watchful eye on potential issues, rather than taking aggressive action. A conservative approach also means that simply being gentle and patient is usually all that is needed to avoid general anesthesia unless it is absolutely necessary.

Nitrous oxide (commonly called laughing gas) is a breathable gas that is used to mildly relieve pain and anxiety during dental procedures.
Nitrous oxide is a non-addictive colorless gas with a slightly sweet taste and odor.
It is mixed with pure oxygen and inhaled through a soft nosepiece or mask, which is attached by hoses to nitrous oxide and oxygen tanks.
The gas begins to work in three to five minutes.
When it is effective, nitrous oxide produces a sense of security, a feeling of warmth, and a pleasant, floating sensation.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child's first visit to the dentist should be by age one or within six months of the eruption of the first tooth, whichever comes first.
It's important for a child to develop a dental home as early as possible.
Primarily, we like to sit down with the parent and have an in-depth discussion about oral health and disease prevention including oral hygiene, diet counseling, oral habits, fluoride, dental trauma, and dental growth and development.
