Pediatric Dentistry
Modern treatment and prevention for healthy children’s teeth
The Best Care for Little Smiles
At Polyclinic.ae, our dental department brings together a strong team of specialists across all areas of dentistry, providing comprehensive care for the entire family — from young children to adults.
We place special focus on our youngest patients, because healthy teeth and good oral hygiene habits begin in childhood.
Our pediatric dentists have extensive experience working with children of different ages and know how to make even the youngest patients feel comfortable. Each visit takes place in a calm and friendly environment where the doctor explains every step in a simple and reassuring way, helping children develop a positive attitude toward dental care.
We treat both primary (baby) teeth and permanent teeth, provide preventive dental care, and teach children how to maintain proper oral hygiene.
Our clinic also has a pediatric orthodontist, who specializes in early diagnosis and correction of bite and jaw development in children.
When Does a Child Need a Dentist?
At Polyclinic.ae, we provide the full range of modern dental treatments and preventive procedures for children, including:
- treatment of cavities in baby teeth

Prevention and Oral Hygiene
Prevention is the foundation of healthy teeth in children.
Our dental team works with both children and parents to provide guidance on:
- proper brushing techniques
- choosing the right toothbrush and toothpaste for each age
- caring for both baby teeth and permanent teeth
- preventing tooth decay
We also offer professional dental cleaning for children, which helps remove plaque, reduce the risk of cavities, and maintain healthy gums.
Does Your Child Have the Right Bite?
An orthodontic check-up is usually recommended between the ages of 7 and 9, when baby teeth begin to be replaced by permanent teeth. This is often the best time to identify bite issues and guide jaw development.
It is particularly important to consult a pediatric orthodontist if:
- the child has a narrow jaw
- teeth appear crowded or do not have enough space
- there are large gaps between teeth
- the bite appears misaligned
- the child breathes through the mouth or has habits such as thumb sucking
At this stage, the orthodontist may recommend imaging and early orthodontic appliances, such as removable plates or expansion devices. These help:
- widen the jaw naturally
- create space for permanent teeth
- guide the growth of the teeth and jaws
If necessary, a second stage of treatment may follow later, using braces or clear aligners to straighten the remaining teeth.
Early orthodontic treatment often makes correction simpler, faster, and more effective.

Modern anesthesia techniques allow dental treatment to be performed comfortably and safely for children.
- How often should children visit the dentist?
-
Children should see a dentist every six months for preventive check-ups.

Fissure sealants protect the chewing surfaces of teeth and significantly reduce the risk of cavities.

The first orthodontic evaluation is usually recommended between ages 7 and 9, when permanent teeth begin to appear.
