Tiny Dentist lets children step into the shoes of a dental professional. Patients come to the clinic with various dental issues, and players must use tools like drills, toothbrushes, and tweezers to save the day. It’s a creative way to learn about dental health while having fun with quirky characters and engaging mini-games.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Tiny Dentist is one of those rare educational games that manages to be genuinely fun while easing real-world anxieties. By putting kids in the role of the dentist, it demystifies the tools and procedures that often scare them. The art style is adorable and the 'patients'—ranging from kids to funny monsters—have great personality.
The gameplay is tactile and satisfying. Scraping away plaque, filling cavities, and even whitening teeth feels like a series of mini-games that reward precision and care. It’s a great way for parents to talk to their kids about oral hygiene without it feeling like a lecture. It's simple, colorful, and very effective at what it sets out to do.

Tips & Walkthrough
Select a patient from the waiting room and look at their teeth. Use the water sprayer to clean the mouth first, then identify black spots to use the drill and filling tool.
Gameplays
Each tool has a specific purpose. The suction tool removes excess saliva, while the braces tool allows you to align crooked teeth by dragging them into position.

Not at all. The tools and animations are designed to be friendly and cartoonish to help reduce the fear of real dentists.

Good but... I pad mini bug
Thu Nov 06 2014 Dachshundlover111+beaglesThe game is awesome! But there is a bug in the I pad mini version, when you put in the teeth, they are all off center.
Waste of time/money
Sat Jun 13 2015 CS0472First off, to the people who think the game is "racist," you're either idiots, or trolls looking to stir up drama. In the 12 patients I saw in the game before deleting it, not one was white; but many were green, red, yellowish-green... some were animals. If you think a children's app with cartoon characters who are obviously not meant to be any race (& some not even human at all) is racist, then kindly get your head checked since you're not fit to be in normal society. With that being said, the app is kinda pointless and hard to understand. At the bottom of the screen are a bunch of tools, but no indication as to what they are or what they do. In addition, there appears to be no wrong or right way to do things... which for today's coddled youth is the norm, I suppose; but if an option to solve a character's dentistry problems is ripping out all its teeth and replacing them with gold ones, I'm not so sure that's gonna alleviate any fears of the dentist that kids may have. Would be far better with some guidance and a better portrayal of what dentists actually do.
This is the best app ever!!

Offensive
Mon Oct 24 2022 pyjohnsonWhy do ALL of the patients have ethnic features? This is a very offensive app. Half the patients should have white or European ski tones and features. Please correct this or change all patients to animals.
Pls update

Only ethnic characters and animals!!!!!!
Wed Feb 20 2013 A-good-momI downloaded this game for my daughter and was asked a question that shocked me! My daughter asked," do all black people have bad teeth?" After realizing this notion came from the game I decided to play it myself..... Aside from the fictional characters, all of the people are ethnic (for those of you that want to pretend you don't know what ethnic means: black, Hispanic, Asian and they even had the red headed step child!!!!) There was not one Caucasian( blonde hair blue eyed) character. I am appalled, I will be taking this complaint to Facebook, Twitter and anybody else that will listen. If your not offended maybe you fit the description of the character that was not included. To those ethnic parents BE CAREFUL OF WHO YOU LET SCUPLT YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN. There image of themselves will follow them for a lifetime. This review was written by an educated professional married woman of color.
