The Story of Tuskaè
Tuskaè was born from a simple belief—that a child is far more than a set of teeth.
A healthy smile is not just about straight, cavity-free teeth. It is about healthy breathing, efficient chewing, proper swallowing, clear speech, restful sleep, balanced facial growth, and the confidence to smile without fear. At Tuskaè, we believe these functions work together to build a child's overall health, and a beautiful smile is simply the natural result of a healthy, well-functioning oral environment.
Our vision is to care for children from birth through young adulthood, providing preventive, functional, and comprehensive dental care during the years when growth and development can be guided most effectively. By identifying concerns early and working alongside pediatricians, ENT specialists, lactation consultants, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals, we strive to provide truly holistic care tailored to every child.
Tuskaè was established with the dream of bringing globally accepted, evidence-based pediatric dental care to the families of Kanyakumari District, including suburban and semi-rural communities where such specialized care is often limited. Every child deserves access to modern dentistry delivered with compassion, integrity, and the highest standards of care—regardless of where they live.
More than a dental clinic, Tuskaè is a commitment to nurturing healthier children, empowering parents through knowledge, and creating generations of confident smiles built on strong function, lifelong oral health, and genuine trust.

Clinical Excellence
“Children deserve more than treatment for dental problems; they deserve care that identifies and addresses the underlying causes, helping them achieve healthy and functional oral development and lifelong confident smiles.”
— Dr. Malavika
Dr. Malavika
Lead Clinician & Pedodontist
Dr. Malavika is a pediatric dentist dedicated to providing comprehensive, child-centered oral healthcare from birth to 20 years of age. Her philosophy is simple—children deserve more than treatment for dental problems; they deserve care that identifies and address the underlying causes, helping them achieve healthy and functional oral development and lifelong confident smiles.
Her journey began at Vinayaka Mission's Sankarachariyar Dental College, where she discovered her passion for treating children. She later completed her Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry at SRM Dental College, Kattankulathur, further strengthening her commitment to preventive and holistic pediatric dental care.
Committed to continuous learning, Dr. Malavika completed a Fellowship in Clinical Endodontics at ACCESS Institute, Chennai, accredited by MAHSA University, Malaysia. She has also completed a Basic Implantology Course at IADPE, Calicut, a Surgical Impaction Removal Course under Dr.Sahul's Academy, Madurai, and advanced training in Myofunctional Therapy at Prism Academy. These experiences have enabled her to look beyond symptoms and focus on the growth, function, and overall oral development of every child.
During her clinical practice at WeLittle Dental Clinics (Chennai & Coimbatore) and Chitra Dental Centre, Trivandrum Dr. Malavika realized that many childhood oral health concerns extend far beyond the teeth. This insight inspired her to adopt a holistic approach that emphasizes prevention, early intervention, parent education, and healthy oral habits from infancy.
As a proud native of Kanyakumari District, she founded Tuskaè – Centre for Pediatric & Comprehensive Dental Care in Kanyakumari with a vision to provide evidence-based pediatric dental care while creating greater awareness among parents and supporting families through every stage of a child's oral development. Her goal is to help every child grow into adulthood with the knowledge, habits, and confidence to maintain lifelong oral health.
For Dr. Malavika, every child deserves a healthy and functional smile, a confident future, and a lifetime of good oral health.

Loved by families across the city
“My son used to scream at the mention of a dentist. After his first visit at Tuskaè, he asked when he could go back. The staff are incredibly patient with kids, and the clinic itself feels calm and welcoming rather than clinical.”
Priya Menon
Mother of two
“I was nervous about getting implants at 45, but Dr. Malavika's team walked me through every step with the 3D scans before we even started. Zero pain during the procedure and the results look completely natural.”
Rahul Verma
Dental implant patient
“The digital smile preview sold me instantly — I could see exactly what my smile would look like before committing. Three months later, I genuinely smile more in photos. Worth every rupee.”
Sneha Iyer
Smile makeover patient
“I'd heard horror stories about root canals for years. Dr. Malavika finished mine in a single visit and I genuinely felt nothing beyond the initial anesthesia. The clinic's hygiene standards are also visibly excellent.”

“Both my teenagers are on clear aligners with Dr. Malavika now. The tracking app and monthly scans make it so easy to see progress, and the kids actually enjoy their check-ins.”
Divya Ramesh

“Chipped a tooth on a Sunday evening and was seen within the hour. The emergency line actually gets answered by a real person, not voicemail. That kind of reliability matters.”
