A pediatric dentist (paediatric dentist, or kids dentist) looks after the teeth and gums of babies, children and teenagers, from the first tooth to the late teens. Visits focus on prevention, early checks for decay and crowding, and making the dentist a calm, familiar place. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC) our kids dentist sees children at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches, for first visits, check-ups, cleaning, fluoride and fillings.
Pediatric dentistry is dental care designed for children. Children's teeth, jaws and behaviour change quickly as they grow, so a kids dentist checks not only for decay but also how the teeth are coming through and how the bite is developing. Baby teeth matter: they help children chew, speak clearly and hold space for adult teeth. Losing them early to decay can lead to crowding later.
Just as important is how the visit feels. A kids dentist explains each step in simple words, lets the child see and touch the instruments, and goes at the child's pace so that dental visits feel normal rather than frightening.
| Treatment | What it involves | Often needed for |
|---|---|---|
| Check-up | Gentle look at teeth, gums and bite, X-rays only if needed | Every child, about every 6 months |
| Cleaning and polishing | Removing plaque and stains | Children with plaque or tartar build-up |
| Fluoride varnish | A quick paint-on layer that helps strengthen enamel | Helping prevent decay |
| Fissure sealants | A thin coating over the grooves of back teeth | New adult molars, often from about age 6 |
| Tooth-coloured fillings | Repairing small cavities | Early decay |
| Space maintainers | A small appliance that holds space after early tooth loss | A baby tooth lost too soon |
| Orthodontic check | Early look at crowding and bite | Children from about age 7 |

We had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Lara. She is incredibly friendly, kind, and so sweet with my son. She was patient, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I'd definitely recommend her to other parents.Google review · 7DMC Al Barsha
My daughter, 6years old, came to see the dentist (Dr Lara). My daughter was initially very nervous, but the moment we walked in, the doctor made her comfortable. She was most definitely the friendliest doctor I have ever met. My daughter just wants to go back to see her new friend, doctor Lara. Do not hesitate to bring your children here…Google review · 7DMC Al Barsha
Talk to our team at Jumeirah or Al Barsha. We will answer your questions and help you choose the right next step.
Most children need a check-up every 6 months, or more often if they are prone to decay. Regular visits help find small problems early, when treatment is quicker and easier for the child. Over time, many children who were nervous at first become relaxed at the dentist. Results vary from child to child.
Children's dental care is generally low risk. Your child may feel some soreness after a filling, and numbness from local anaesthetic can lead to accidental lip or cheek biting. Allergy to dental materials is rare. Some children become upset during treatment, which is why the dentist goes at their pace and may split treatment into shorter visits. If sedation or treatment under general anaesthesia is ever recommended, its separate risks are explained to you in full first.
The cost of a kids dentist visit in Dubai usually ranges from AED 150 to AED 400 for a check-up, depending on what is included (cleaning, fluoride, X-rays), your child's needs and the clinic. Typical ranges: Children's dental check-up, AED 150 to AED 300; Check-up with cleaning and fluoride, AED 250 to AED 400; Children's filling, per tooth, AED 300 to AED 600. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.
It is the branch of dentistry that cares for babies, children and teenagers, focusing on prevention, growing teeth and jaws, and making visits comfortable for children.
A pediatric dentist is also called a paediatric dentist, a children's dentist, a kids dentist or a pedodontist.
When the first tooth appears, or by the first birthday. An early, relaxed visit helps your child get used to the dentist before any treatment is needed.
Usually every 6 months. Children who get cavities easily may need more frequent visits.
Tell us when you book. The dentist will take extra time, explain each step and may start with a simple look before any treatment. Talk about the visit positively at home.
Usually until about 16 to 18, when they can move to a general dentist.
7DMC has two branches: Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3), opposite Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and Al Barsha (Arjan, Al Barsha South), both with parking.
