Have you ever asked yourself:

"Since I moved to Dubai, why are my teeth getting worse?
I never had so many problems—sensitivity, bleeding gums, even a missing tooth. What’s going on?"

You're not alone. Many patients visit me every week at Bella Rose Medical Center with the same concern.

Living in Dubai can have a bigger impact on your oral health than you think.

Here’s why – and how we can help you fix it.

Why Dental Problems Are So Common in Dubai

There are three main reasons why people in Dubai experience more dental issues:

1. Hard Water

Dubai’s tap water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, which can build up on your teeth and irritate your gums.

2. Heat and Dry Air

Between the outdoor heat and constant air conditioning, your mouth stays dry — and dry mouth is one of the causes of cavities and bad breath.

3. Busy Lifestyle & Diet

Many people drink coffee, eat fast food, or sip sugary drinks throughout the day. This kind of diet is a major trigger for tooth decay and gum disease.

Common Symptoms I See in Dubai Patients:

• Sensitivity to cold drinks

• Bleeding or swollen gums

• Bad breath that won’t go away

• Pain when chewing

• One or more missing teeth

And of course, many patients delay visiting the dentist because of busy schedules. But here’s something important to remember:

The longer you wait, the more serious the damage can become — including bone loss in your jaw.

My Opinion: Dental Implants

If you’ve lost a tooth or are dealing with damaged ones, dental implants are the best long-term solution I recommend.

Why? Because they:

• Look and feel like real teeth

• Preserve the jawbone (unlike dentures or bridges)

• Last 10 years or more

• Don’t harm nearby teeth

• Help you eat, speak, and smile confidently

My patients in Dubai love them — not just because of the results, but because implants bring back more than your smile.
They restore confidence, comfort, and quality of life.
