Dr. Nidhi also founded Nurture Smiles in 2021, a unique preventive focussed care model for helping children that need at-home desensitization and oral health coaching outside the traditional dental office.
Dr. Taneja has spent more than a decade in dentistry helping thousands of children experience positive dental visits, keeping them out of general anesthesia by utilizing alternative and functional dentistry approaches. She has published her original research in peer-reviewed journals on barriers to dental care for children with autism. Dr. Nidhi has a passion for empowering parents and caregivers with preventive education to make dentistry more mindful and minimally invasive. She practices an integrative model of treatment that combines medication and alternative treatments such as nutrition modification, habit formation, and mindfulness techniques.
