The Good Stuff
Trust building
Several visits can be used to help a frightened child gradually become comfortable before treatment.
Flexible approach
The examination was adapted when one child could not tolerate the dental chair.
Whole-child view
One review highlights attention to airway health and jaw development alongside dental treatment.
Child-friendly setting
Toys, familiar TV shows and singing are used to make difficult appointments less intimidating.
Aftercare support
Parents mention clear medication, healing and follow-up guidance after procedures.
Laughing gas
Reviews describe laughing gas being used smoothly for an extraction, helping a nervous child stay calm.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow settling. For a fearful child, consider an introductory visit or gradual approach; one child completed a full appointment without crying on the third visit.
Discuss options. Ask whether damaged primary teeth could be treated with root canals and crowns rather than moving straight to extraction.
Clarify sedation. Discuss gas sedation and the circumstances in which general anaesthesia might become necessary before booking extensive treatment.
Share needs. Tell the clinic about autism, developmental delays or specific sensitivities so the visit can be adapted around the child.
Plan aftercare. Before treatment, ask about follow-ups, medication, nutrition and home care so recovery instructions are clear.
Ask about gas. For an anxious child facing an extraction, ask whether laughing gas is appropriate and how it will be used.

The Bottom Line
Dr. Yasmin Kottait Clinic is a pediatric dentist in Dubai Healthcare City that stands out in reviews for helping anxious children, autistic children and children with developmental delays feel safe before treatment. Parents describe gradual trust-building, flexible examinations and clear explanations rather than rushing a child into the chair.
The clinic handles substantial pediatric dental work as well as routine care. Reviews mention zirconia crowns, including natural-looking white crowns, root canal treatments for very young children, tooth extractions and sealants on permanent teeth. Laughing gas has also been used smoothly for an extraction, while some extensive cases required general anaesthesia when a child could not cooperate even with gas sedation.
Parents particularly value the follow-through after procedures: reviews mention medication, healing instructions, follow-ups, check-ins, and advice on aftercare and nutrition. The child-focused environment includes toys, familiar TV shows and playful techniques; one family even described singing during treatment. If your child is frightened, allow time for trust to develop and discuss sedation and treatment alternatives in advance.
For children with special needs, share their sensitivities and routines when booking so the team can plan an adaptable visit.
