This is one reason I wanna be a pediatrician. Kids don't need to be kept in the dark. You have to respect their intellect and reason with them.

Do you accept patients who are kids at heart? 🤭

When he said “do you know why it was bothering you?”, I was absolutely in awe that he didn’t say “bEcAuSe yOu nEeD tO fLoSs”

Thank you for being so kind to kids. I had horrible teeth as a child and had to have dental surgery a couple times. Some of the dentists would ignore me or tell me that it doesn't hurt, until I started having my grandma come in. She saw that tears were coming down my eyes and my toes were curling in pain. They tried to tell her it didn't hurt me either, but she wasn't having any of it. How I was treated then is why I rarely go to the dentist now. You're changing kids lives to not have to live in pain due to fear of the dentist. Good job!

“The tooth was kinda sick” oh my gosh I love that

John too has got to be the cutest dentist I’ve seen so far in my life.

I LOVE that the dentist took the time to explain. That probably saved that child a lifetime of fear of the dentist

Exactly how to treat a child, perfect. Talking to them like they're somewhat grown but being firm and gentle is absolutely the best way to handle any situation with a child because most times they just want or need to understand.

Never forget to head boop and high five when I'm treating kids ❤️

John, you keep raising my standard for a guy 🤣🤣

The fact that he talked directly to her instead of just her parents shows so much respect for her as a person not just a kid. Kids deserve respect when it comes to their own bodies.

You’re so amazing my little brother is TERRIFIED of the dentist and not your regular fear but like traumatized. He was getting X-rays and instead of them working with him they literally shoved it in his mouth while he was crying. Showed zero sympathy and pulled my mom to the side and blamed her for him having anxiety. So now he’s terrified we need more dentists like you. People who have actual compassion for their patients.

I have a severe needle phobia to the point of crying when I see a picture of a needle and I wish people talked to me like this. Most people think I’m too old to be scared of needles (I’m 15), but my fear is always manageable when someone just talks me through it. Once, I had to get my blood drawn and the doctor gave me a bunch of random blood facts the whole time. I just wish more people would care about how scary things like this can be (especially to a child who doesn’t understand what is happening or why it hurts) I guess I mean to say thank you and I hope I come upon someone like you in the future.

I love the relationships he forms with his patients 🥺 this is restoring my faith in humanity 🥰

God how I wish I could find a pediatric dentist so kind patient empathetic and emotionally intelligent. Lucky baby.

Having dentists like this is so important! I did not have a friendly dentist growing up and it caused me to be soooo terribly afraid i would cry every visit. Which also caused me to stop going when i started highschool and didnt get it checked up for a good 6 years. Finally found a great doctor that walks me through the process and educates me about dental hygiene! ❤

That’s very good. My dentist speaks to me even as an adult very improperly. I asked him questions last time about my procedure and he looked at the nurse assistance whatever and made fun of me for “liking to talk” and “won’t even let him talk” then proceeded to not answer my question about the procedure.

I believe you will be a good father in the future 😄

Thank you for treating them as little adults. Normally people who are scared or unsure of what’s happening will become hypersensitive to pain or feelings in general. We don’t know what things these little people have been put through or endured, so try to be mindful and treat them exactly how you would expect to be treated. ❤

I wish I’d had a kind and gentle dentist like this guy when I was a child. Life long dental phobia. As an adult I was told by my mother that our second dentist, that I went to until he retired, that I was one of the worst he’d seen. The first dentist caused the phobia…

She is a nice little kid though. I find the way she reply “ok” to you is really cute!

When I was 4-6, I had to have a ton of cavities filled in. The dentists who worked on me were nothing like this. They constantly refused giving numbing saying “You’re a big girl! You don’t need numbing”. I told my parents who I didn’t like the dentist and I told them it was because of that dentist’s office. They immediately took me right outta there. I still have trauma to this day, even though it’s almost been a decade. I love how you are aware young children can have trauma from doctors/dentists appointments and try to make the situation as less traumatic and stressful as possible! I wish I had a dentist like you.

that’s so sweet. i hate when doctors/dentists treat kids like just passing objects, ignoring their pain and feelings. i love that you take the time to explain, while making sure to take in mind they’re no adult.

When he was 4yo, my son was having some extensive dental work done. The dentist felt bad about the pain of the injections, that he carried him out to me and actually gave my son money. He was a very dear man.

My 💚 melted when you said sorry and didnt mean to do that. 😍🙈 Awww Kids dentist John. 🥰 Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I remember my dentist giving out special coins you could use in there bubblegum machine which was filled with tiny toys instead of bubblegum, made the visit much more enjoyable🥰🥰

He didn’t patronize her. He explained it clearly and she trusted him.

I love how you explain it, saving the trouble of the parents to deal with a crying child. Or more. You explain it in a positive manner that will help them understand it and won't get really all that scared.

You're gonna be an awesome of a father!!! Plus a handsome one!! Should you be in a kdrama, I would watch you nonstop!!

I just wanted to say thank you for this ❤ I had a very traumatic experience as a child with a dentist who slammed me down so hard I bit my tongue and told me repeatedly to stop crying or he'd give me something to cry about. Luckily my mom was waiting outside of the door and heard him say this and we never went back. I am 35 and have PTSD from it.

This is the best dentist!!! So kind and caring

Even as an adult, it makes a huge difference in the pain/fear when someone does/doesn't acknowledge it and explain the situation clearly and kindly. ❤

I love this man. The amount of patience and care he puts in is incredible.

Thumbs up!! For both darlings..the brave little girl and Dr John!! 👍🏻👍🏻🥰😇

Oh my goodness that's crazy sweet! I totally fell for how gentle, considerate and caring he is!

I think it’s so important to treat kids with kindness and respect like this. It only takes a few more minutes but she’s going to have so much more confidence in her ability to handle medical procedures as she grows up ❤

i could only wish my dentist was like that lmao. my dentist forgot to put local anesthesia on one side of the mouth once when they were pulling out 2 teeth on opposite sides for my sibling.

The crying legit broke my heart, I couldn't do this 😭💔

I watch people like this to help me get over my fear of dentists (had an abusive dentist as a kid who ended losing his license and almost went to jail)

It's great that a dentist is very gentle, and helps children to know what he is going to do next to treat the teeth. You are an awesome doctor. You know how to treat kids.

God, I needed a dentist like you when I was a kid. I'm 25 and I DESPERATELY need to go, but I'm petrified. The only one available in my area is an absolutely awful brute of a man.

Omg ppl are just literally thirsting out here.😂

My dentist pulled out a baby tooth out of my head while cleaning my teeth when I was this age. He didn't numb me, he didn't ask and when he did it my tooth broke. He sighed, complained to my mother then dug out the other piece painfully. His reasoning was it would fall out soon. I cried and was terrified of dentists since then. I have plenty of horror stories going to the dentist.

The lil * head boop * at the end was everything

Awe so cute. I want a dentist like him. Why the hell did no one tell me this channel existed. I binge watch your videos lol. Nice work doc.

I'm literally 15 and I gain confidence for when I will go to the doctor while watching this-

This is amazing. I told my dentist that he was hurting me and he said, verbatim, "That's not pain you're feeling, it's just the nerve getting a little bit excited." I will ALWAYS remember that

I’m so glad there are dentists like you out there. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a big baby at the dentist and have been since I was little. When I was in 6th grade, I had to have a couple teeth extracted in order to get braces. I was super nervous, first time getting teeth pulled, never even had a cavity before this. I was nervous & crying. They took me back and told my mom to stay out in the waiting room. As soon as I sat down, our family dentist tried to give me the numbing shot. This obviously made me freak out even more and as I was bawling my eyes out, I still vividly remember to this day at almost 35 years old, her leaning down next to my ear and telling me if I didn’t stop crying and let her give me the numbing shot she wouldn’t let me see my mom! Well, that traumatic, psycho manipulation didn’t work on me. I ended up going to an oral surgeon and they gave me some anxiety meds & knocked me out. But, I never forgot what she said or that experience and I still get nervous going to the dentist today!

Awww that head boop at the end was so cute 🥺 Btw: I love the hat your wearing, it’s so adorable 😍

that was so wholesome omg, maybe if I had dentist like you when I was a child, I wouldn't be scared with dentist 🤣

Dr.Yoo is so sweet with the kids. It makes my heart warm every time. I couldn’t help but sub to this guy lol!

You remind me of my children's dentist. We've been going to her for years, she's phenomenal. Her whole staff is wonderful. She will treat the parents on Mondays.

If only my dengan dentist when I was a kid like you, I wouldn't have been afraid to go everytime

This is so cute, the dentist I've been to never did this so I would always cry and my mom would end up buying me a stuff animal to make me happy 😂😞

What a sweetheart you are! The world needs more doctors and dentists with genuine compassion. Your tender concern for these kids is really amazing. Your kindness will change their view of dentistry for the rest of their lives.

"Head boop" I want to call it that from now on😭❤

I wish my dentist could talk to me just like you 🥰🥰🥰

I’m 22 , I mean 2+2=4 , I’m 4 years old !! Tell me how do I make an appointment?

I developed trauma from the dentist as a child. I repressed most of it but what I do remember is not good to say the least. I didn’t go to the dentist for years due to a mix of parental neglect and never asking to go even when I knew I should. When I did go again I found that a lot of dentists can tell when their patient wasn’t lucky enough to have a doc as good as this one. My x-rays and demeanor definitely don’t project “guy who has a wonderful history with dentistry”. I started weeping as soon as I laid down for a root canal at 17. The dentist did breathing exercises with me and explained every single thing he was doing as he did it. Asked permission consistently. Then when I had to get a tooth pulled years later the dentist was so kind and encouraging. She was laser focused on my reactions and advocated for me when I wasn’t sure if I could do it for myself. I feel like the practice (like most) has evolved from a callous “get it done and get it out” approach to a system that understands that going to the dentist is a very mentally heavy task. I’m so glad for this. No one, especially not children, should be harmed by a medical professional of all people. Do no harm applies to the brain as well. This video made me really happy and hopeful for future generations. Good on those of us who know empathy is everything.

Such a great dentist.🥺🥰

I am in love with him..

Hi dr👋I'm a medical student🤦‍♀️😂😣so hard🥺sometimes I just want to cry🚶🏻‍♀️

This is so sweet 🥺🥺

The best doctor 😭🥹

It's creeps me out knowing that your voice is so soothing and makes me smiling like wtf. I just know you this morning and now I'm obsessed.

👧🏽👧🏾👧🏼👧🏽👧👍👍🏻🎄🎄🎶🎶🎉🥰🥰🥰 Yes, time to leave this dentist's chair 💺!! Yes! Done! Let's go! [Not at all aware that her dentist is tiktok/IG famous so doesn't ask for a quick selfie???] Tsk. 😂

Awesome Man and Doctor!

kids aren’t stupid! you did a great job telling the kid wassup

It's great that the dentist talked to the child about the procedure!

since i was a small child i have alway had an overwhelming fear of the dentist, not because of any trauma or anything. recently i discovered the yt channels dr john yoo and the bentist, since then zero fears and im even excited for my first ortho appt

Watching these heal my inner child

Wow- u are like the kindest person to help people 💖💖💖

Even though I'm an adult I love coming across dentists who help reassure me when i have a phobia, it helps get through it without trama.

Your the nicest dentist ever you help kids calm down and dont feel pain best doctor ever love you! You make kids laugh and not feel pain in they're mouth best!!!

I am so amazed not only by his explanation but the girl's attitude of listening

How nice it is that chat with the little girl. Definitely she is feeling much better. Great dentist 💖

I can't 🥺 she's too sweet for my heart I'm gonna cry

This video let me remember my own positive experiences with dentists as a child :) everybody knew me there because my mom painted the walls for the kids with fishes and everything^^ lovely videos

Dr. John you You are really motivating to us I'm a medical student who is preparing to be a doctor You inspire me with your talent You have a really kind heart

I love the pat on the head. It shows your affection to the children.

Awesome dentist...he hears his patients cries and fears...then stops to explain and comfort them...

What a little sweetheart! 💖

Honestly am happy that there are good dentist like these

The little “oki” was to cute

THIS is exactly what kids need. A little information. Awesome job doc! Ty

Wow....I love the way you comfort children....❤

When he give her the head pats at the end! adorable🥰

That just stirred up some childhood trauma at the dentist! 😬

the dentist was the kindest, dentist! Every children's dentist should be that way!

I appreciate his direction in helping kids through dentistry because my brother when we were younger was slapped in the face by his dentist for crying & saying it hurt! This affects not only my brother (who physically was put through it) but me as well from hearing my brother’s experience. I’m now 28 & just now finding trust in dentist again. Thanks for your kind and patient approach to children’s care because I don’t think a lot of people think of how long a single moment to (them) affects a child through their life. :) love ya

Love how sweet doctors are❤

Awww how sweet of him

The head boop at the end was precious

My hat is off to you for helping her understand that sometimes it hurts to stay well, but it's worth it❤

He sounds so reassuring and I love that! ❤️

i love this wholesome content. 🥺

this is so wholesome and made my whole week this is awesome

this is the kind of dentist i needed as a kid omg

Very thoughtful and kind person. A model doctor. Thank you.

I'm glad he has the patience and the personality for that job.
