The MMDC Kids Visit

A visit designed around your child

Pediatric dentistry at MMDC is slow, calm, and age-appropriate. We budget extra time for every child so nobody feels rushed.

1
Meet and Greet
Your child meets the dentist without climbing into the chair. We chat, show the tools, and answer their questions first.

2
Tell, Show, Do
We explain each step in kid language, demonstrate it on a finger or mirror, then do it, one small step at a time.

3
Gentle Treatment
Numbing gel before injections, happy gas if needed, and breaks whenever your child asks. We celebrate bravery with small rewards.

4
Home Coaching
Parents get a simple home-care plan: brushing tips by age, snack guidance, and what to expect before the next visit.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

From what age should my child see the dentist?
The first visit should happen by age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. The earlier the first (happy) visit, the easier every visit after is.
My child is really scared of the dentist. Can you help?
Yes, this is actually what we’re known for. We use tell-show-do, happy gas (nitrous oxide), and we never rush or force. Many of our most anxious patients now walk in themselves and hop into the chair.
Do you do fillings without injections?
For very small cavities, sometimes yes (air abrasion or Icon resin infiltration). For larger cavities we use strong numbing gel before any injection, so most kids tell us they didn’t feel it.
What about braces or Invisalign for teens?
Yes. We offer both traditional braces and Invisalign Teen, planned around school and sports schedules. We also handle early interceptive orthodontics (age 7-10) when it makes sense.
Do you accept kids with special needs?
Yes. We take extra time and coordinate with parents and (if helpful) occupational therapists to plan visits. Please tell us in advance so we can schedule a longer, quieter appointment.
What currency are prices in?
All of our pricing is in AED (UAE Dirham) and quoted in writing before any treatment begins.
