As paediatric dentists, we ensure that your child feels completely at ease at Tandzorg Kralingen. In a safe and familiar environment, we take the time to help children become accustomed to visiting the dentist. Our friendly approach and personal attention make every visit a pleasant experience. We help your child to become familiar with oral care step by step, so that future visits to the dentist are natural and free from fear.
Why is a child-friendly dentist so important?
A child’s first experience at the dentist can determine their attitude towards oral care in the future. Our aim is to prevent tension and anxiety wherever possible. As children’s dentists, we adapt our communication, working methods and environment entirely to suit young children. We calmly explain everything, allow children to familiarise themselves with the chair and involve them in the examination in a playful manner. Parents are always welcome to accompany their children. Our top priorities are trust, safety and fun.
At what age should children start visiting the dentist?
Your child is welcome to visit the dentist as soon as their first tooth appears. We recommend scheduling an introductory appointment by their first birthday at the latest. Starting at a young age will help your child to get used to the dentist’s chair, and it will enable us to monitor their teeth closely as they grow. We can also provide early advice on brushing habits, nutrition and preventing cavities. Almost all dental treatment costs for children up to the age of 18, including fillings and regular check-ups, are reimbursed. The only condition is that you have basic health insurance.
What happens during a child’s dental visit?
At Tandzorg Kralingen, we do everything we can to ensure you feel relaxed during your check-up. During your first visit, you will have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the practice, the dentist’s chair and our friendly staff. In most cases, we will postpone treatment for a while. We take a look inside your child’s mouth and discuss their dental health with you. Is further treatment necessary? If so, we will arrange a follow-up appointment with you.
Advice on brushing for young children
Good brushing technique is something that children learn step by step. At Tandzorg Kralingen, we provide you and your child with the necessary tips and clear explanations to get you started. We show you how to make brushing fun together, which toothpaste is suitable and how to use the right technique. Our paediatric dentist will support you in caring for your child’s teeth in a playful and age-appropriate way.
Preventive care for children’s teeth
Paying attention to brushing habits and dietary patterns from an early age reduces the risk of cavities and establishes the basis for lifelong dental health. During check-ups, we monitor tooth development and provide advice on protective treatments where necessary. These include sealing the molars or applying fluoride. We explain everything in an age-appropriate way.
