Pedriatic dentistry

There is no set time for this. It is generally recommended to schedule the first dental visit as soon as the first baby teeth appear.

This allows your child to get used to the situation early on and have their first experiences without feeling rushed.

Yes, in many cases, a professional cleaning can be beneficial. It complements daily oral hygiene and helps thoroughly clean hard-to-reach areas.

This can be particularly helpful for children at increased risk of cavities or those wearing fixed braces. At the same time, children learn in a playful way how to practice thorough oral hygiene. At our practice, we’re happy to offer organic methods that are especially gentle on teeth and gums.

It’s important to prepare your child before their first dental appointment. Help them get used to the atmosphere at the dentist’s office by taking them along to your own dental appointments. At home, you can prepare for the visit in a playful way by looking at picture books on the topic together or by letting your child look inside your mouth. Also, be mindful of the words you use. It’s better to talk about brushing and tickling rather than drilling and pain.

Set aside enough time for your child’s first dental visit. Your child will want to explore a bit at first. Of course, you’ll be right by your child’s side throughout the treatment. The dentist will examine your child’s dental development and oral health.

Tooth decay is usually not hereditary but results from a diet high in sugar and poor oral hygiene. Children should be taught proper oral hygiene and supported by their parents. Teeth should be brushed thoroughly at least twice a day to minimize the risk of tooth decay. Regular professional dental cleanings also help reduce the risk of tooth decay.

The treatment of tooth decay in children always depends on the extent of the damage and the child’s age. The goal is to stabilize the affected tooth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

In our practice, we also take care to use a gentle approach and ensure that the materials used are well tolerated. Depending on the situation, biologically oriented approaches may also be considered—for example, through the use of well-tolerated filling materials such as Biodentin or accompanying preventive care to stabilize the oral flora.

It is always important to make an individualized decision: The appropriate treatment depends on the condition of the teeth, the child’s development, and personal circumstances. We will discuss these options with you together and at your leisure.
