Overview
Dr Akhilesh Sharma is a Consultant Paediatric Dentist in Whitefield, Bengaluru, with over 16 years of experience in paediatric and preventive dentistry. He is one of the most clinically experienced and academically prolific paediatric dentists in Bengaluru, with a particular focus on early childhood caries, oral health in medically compromised and special needs children, and behavioural management areas that require both clinical skill and the kind of patience that puts anxious children and worried parents at ease.
He completed his BDS from Government Dental College and Research Institute, Fort Bangalore, and his MDS in Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry from ABSMIDS, Mangalore, under RGUHS, in 2008. He has held faculty positions at Dayananda Sagar College of Dental Sciences (Senior Lecturer, 2008–2012) and Oxford Dental College, Hospital and Research Institute (Reader, 2012–2017; Professor, 2017–2020), where he was a postgraduate teacher and guide under RGUHS. He has been appointed as an external examiner for final year BDS and MDS examinations by NTR University of Health Sciences (Andhra Pradesh), RGUHS (Karnataka), Kerala University of Health Sciences, and Maharashtra University of Health Sciences.
At RxDx Clinics, parents can bring children of any age from infants through to teenagers for dental assessment, preventive care, and treatment of dental problems. Dr Akhilesh sees children with tooth decay, dental pain, trauma, habit-related problems such as thumb sucking or mouth breathing, delayed or missing teeth, early orthodontic concerns, and children who have had poor dental experiences elsewhere and need a more sensitive, tailored approach. He has extensive experience managing the dental needs of children with special health care needs including Down syndrome, autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, haemophilia, congenital heart disease, leukaemia, cleft lip and palate, and juvenile diabetes which is a rare clinical capability in an outpatient setting.
At RxDx Clinics, Whitefield, Bengaluru, parents looking for a paediatric dental specialist whether for a first dental visit, a specific dental problem, or a child who is anxious or medically complex will find in Dr Akhilesh a clinician with both the expertise and the temperament to make every child’s dental visit as positive and productive as possible.
