Dr. Anuj Batra qualified as a dentist first and then went back to dental school to train to be a Paediatric Dentist in New Zealand. Following this, he made Melbourne home in 2012. Since then, he has worked as a specialist in both private and public settings.

Dr. Anuj also enjoys teaching and has worked as a full-time lecturer in the past. Now, he lectures on a part-time basis at Melbourne University and La Trobe University. He is also a part-time specialist at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne. Dr. Anuj’s doctoral thesis was on Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (chalky teeth). Although he offers the whole range of paediatric dental services, his special interests include hypomineralised/chalky teeth, management of children with special needs, dental trauma and oral surgery.

Dr. Anuj is a member of the Australian Dental Association (ADA), Australian and New Zealand Society of Paediatric Dentistry (ANZSPD) and Australasian Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (AAPD). He is actively involved in local dental meetings and also attends domestic and international conferences to keep himself up to date with current knowledge and guidelines.

Dr. Anuj is passionate about his job and he loves working with children. At Paediatric Dental Home, we strive to make dental visits a pleasant experience for children.

In his spare time (if there is such a thing!) he likes to spend time with his family, go traveling or visit one of the lovely beaches in and around Melbourne.

Dr. Anuj looks forward to seeing you and your child at Paediatric Dental Home.
