The dentist
your child will
actually love
Board-certified. World-travelled. She speaks your language.
Dual American & Canadian board-certified paediatric dentist bringing 10+ years of international expertise — from Philadelphia to Kenya to Dubai — to your family. Because every child deserves a dentist who truly gets them.
A first visit that
changes everything
A child's first dental experience shapes their relationship with oral health for life. Every visit with Dr. Nidhi is designed to feel safe, playful, and genuinely joyful — using child-friendly language, gentle techniques, and evidence-based care rooted in over 15 years of international practice.
Having practiced across the UAE, USA, Canada, India, and Kenya, Dr. Nidhi brings a rare depth of cultural understanding to every appointment. She doesn't just treat teeth — she builds lifelong trust.
Caring for every little smile
Welcoming babies from their very first tooth — around age one. A gentle, fun introduction designed to build lifelong trust with the dentist.
Regular check-ups, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to keep tiny teeth cavity-free and healthy.
Safe, compassionate care using laughing gas, oral conscious sedation, or general anesthesia — for anxious children or complex cases.
Minimally invasive laser treatments — faster healing, far less discomfort, and no scary drills for soft tissue procedures.
Expert assessment and gentle laser frenectomy from newborns to teens — supporting feeding, speech, and development.
Comprehensive treatment under general anesthesia for children with complex medical needs or significant dental anxiety.
Globe-trotting mom.
World-class dentist.
Dr. Nidhi Kotak is a dual American & Canadian board-certified Consultant Paediatric Dentist — one of very few practitioners in the world to hold both credentials simultaneously. With over 15 years of international experience across the UAE, USA, Canada, India, and Kenya, she brings a truly global perspective to every child's care.
A certified lactation counselor, published researcher, and educator who has taught over 90 general dentists across British Columbia, Dr. Nidhi is also a trained improv comedian (Second City, Chicago) — because she believes laughter is the best behaviour management tool there is.
As a mom herself, she understands exactly what parents in Dubai need: a dentist who is clinically exceptional, culturally fluent, and genuinely warm.
Dentistry without borders
Dr. Nidhi has practiced on four continents — and believes that every child, everywhere, deserves exceptional dental care. She has volunteered with the World Health Dental Organization in Maasai Mara, Kenya, and participated in outreach missions in Ladakh, India.
It's this global perspective — shaped by different cultures, different families, and different challenges — that makes her uniquely suited for Dubai's extraordinary mix of communities.

Dubai is the world.
We speak its languages.
With over 88% of Dubai's population being expats, finding a doctor who truly speaks your language — culturally and literally — matters. Dr. Nidhi does.
Making headlines
& smiles
Dr. Nidhi's unique blend of clinical excellence, improv-trained communication, and passion for paediatric dentistry has earned her recognition in leading dental publications and won her the prestigious Lucy Hobbs "Woman to Watch" award.
"Improv taught me how to let go of inhibitions, be more comfortable being myself, and put others at ease."
