      When to Consult
      a Pediatric Dentist?

      Ensuring your child’s oral health is essential for their overall well-being. If you notice any of the following symptoms or behaviors, it’s important to schedule a visit with one of our pediatric dentists in Dubai promptly:

      White, brown, or black spots on the teeth

      This could indicate early stages of decay or enamel demineralization.

      Pain or difficulty while chewing or swallowing

      This may indicate cavities, infections, alignment problems, or jaw-related concerns.

      Sore or tender gums

      Swollen, red, or tender gums may be signs of gum disease.

      Mouthbreathing, thumb or finger sucking, or pacifier use

      These habits can affect jaw development and alignment, potentially leading to bite issues or crooked teeth.

      Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth

      Trauma to teeth requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and ensure proper healing.

      Bad breath (halitosis)

      Persistent bad breath may signal gum disease, cavities, or an abscessed tooth that requires urgent care.

      First birthday,
      first dental visit.

      The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry recommend bringing your child to the dentist when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday—whichever comes first.

      Early visits help set the stage for healthy teeth and allow us to catch potential issues before they become bigger problems. After that, regular check-ups and cleanings every six months are key for monitoring growth and preventing cavities, so your little one’s smile stays healthy and bright for years to come.

      • ❝I took my 5-year-old daughter to see Dr. Lana. She is very friendly with children and gentle. She makes the treatment fun, and my daughter had no fear and was very comfortable. She answered all my questions and finished the treatment very efficiently. Definitely going back to her whenever we need to see a pediatric dentist. Highly recommended.❞

      • ❝Dr. Theresa is amazing and handled very well my 7-year-old daughter who is petrified of doctors and fixed a cavity with no problem up and zero drama. Connected very quickly with her and spoke in a very calming yet not condensing way. I also took my son to her for a simple extraction that went very well and very fast. She is very professional and personable.❞
