Children

YOUR CHILD IS IN THE CENTRE OF INTEREST IN OUR PRACTICE!

Getting to know your child, stilling of any fear, building confidence

Dear parents, dear children,

To start with, we have compiled for you the most relevant information for a relaxed first visit to the dentist. This information is intended to help you and your child.

We wish to meet from the start with good feelings and cooperate in a relaxed atmosphere.

  • Please create in advance for your child a relaxed atmosphere and, if possible, come to the practice rested
  • Please make sure when making an appointment that it fits into your daily schedule and does not interfere with sleeping time/resting periods of your child
  • Take your time with your child for the appointment
  • Arouse your child’s curiosity for the coming adventure of the ‘visit to the dentist’
  • Please avoid words to the effect of ‘no need to be afraid’ or ‘it will not hurt’
  • Offer praise to your child after the treatment!

When exactly is the recommended time for the first visit to the dentist?

As early as from the first tooth we are available to you for questions and support. We recommend check-ups every half year in order to be in a position to accompany your child step by step and support it.

Prophylaxis/dental therapy for children
We shall arrange a positive experience for your child together.

The first appointment with the dentist.
The emphasis is for us on getting to know your child step by step in order jointly to set up a relationship of trust and remove any feelings of insecurity. As from the second appointment, retaining the dental health of your child is in the centre of interest. The aim of our work is to avoid dental defects.

Our prophylaxis measures for children consist of:

  • Consultation and motivation in dental care; visualization of plaque and tartar by special tooth dyes
  • Tooth brushing training: practicing proper dental care in the dental practice.
    (If possible, bring along the child’s tooth brush!)
  • Checking dental care results
  • Strengthening tooth enamel by fluoridation
  • Preventing caries
  • Offering nutrition counselling
  • Assessing the individual caries risk

Dental treatment of children

  • We perform tooth sealing for protection from caries
  • Filling therapy of milk teeth and permanent teeth
  • Tooth extraction
  • Cooperation with experienced orthodontic surgeons

Together we shall make your child’s visit to the dentist a cheerful experience.
We are looking forward to seeing you and your children!

Prophylaxis at home – what can you do?

  • As soon as the first tooth has come through you should start tooth brushing with an age-appropriate tooth paste
  • It is recommended that your child brush its teeth in accordance with the tooth brushing method explained and trained in the dental practice
  • Please brush your children’s teeth daily a second time until the age of 6 – 8 years!
  • Attach importance to balanced low-sugar nutrition. Sweets are not basically taboo but they should be enjoyed in a controlled manner
  • Do not offer your child any sweetened drinks. Water is the best thirst quencher!

 

Please feel free to contact us under 0451-63669 for your personal appointment.
