Haven’t Seen a Dentist in Years? You’re Not Alone

Supportive Dental Care in Abu Dhabi for People Who Feel Embarrassed About Their Teeth

At TRUE SMILE Dental Centre Abu Dhabi, we meet patients every week who quietly tell us:
“I’m ashamed of my teeth.”
Or: “I’ve been avoiding the dentist for years.”
Or: “Please don’t judge me.”

If any of this feels familiar — we want you to know one thing:
You are not alone. And it’s never too late to start.

We’re here to help you feel better, not worse.
No judgement. No lectures. No pressure. Just honest, respectful, step-by-step care.

“I’m worried the dentist will tell me off”

Dental Fear Often Starts With Shame

This is one of the most common things we hear.

Some of our patients haven’t been to a dentist in 5, 10 or even 20 years. Life happens — work, stress, kids, illness, finances, or just fear. A small problem becomes a bigger one. And then shame creeps in.

At TRUE SMILE, we don’t ask “Why did you wait so long?”
Instead, we say: “We’re glad you’re here. Let’s see how we can help.”

“I’m embarrassed to even open my mouth”

You Don’t Have to Hide Anymore

Whether you’re dealing with broken teeth, pain, infection, or bad breath — we’ve seen it all.
You might be surprised how many people feel just like you.

We often hear:

  • “I haven’t smiled in years.”
  • “I always cover my mouth.”
  • “I feel too ashamed to go anywhere.”

At TRUE SMILE, we meet you with kindness and respect — not judgement. We focus on what we can do, not on what’s been missed.

“I don’t know where to begin”

We’ll Guide You — Gently and Clearly

Your first visit doesn’t need to be overwhelming. We’ll talk, listen, and look — at your pace.

What usually happens at your first appointment:

  • A comfortable consultation in your language (we speak English, Arabic, Russian and more)
  • A 3D dental scan to understand what’s going on
  • A discussion of what bothers you most — pain, discomfort, or worry
  • A clear, step-by-step plan that we build together

There’s no pressure to do everything at once. We’ll start where it makes sense for you.

“I can’t afford to fix it all now”

That’s Okay — We Plan Treatment in Stages

A full dental makeover doesn’t need to happen overnight.
We’ll help you prioritise and break treatment into steps — based on your health, comfort, and budget.

Often we begin with:

  • Stopping pain or treating infection
  • Cleaning and stabilising fragile teeth
  • Then planning future treatment: fillings, crowns, extractions, or implants

At every stage, we’ll explain what we’re doing, why it matters, and what options you have.

“I just want to find a dentist who won’t judge me”
