At Tandzorg Kralingen, we are paediatric dentists who ensure that your child feels completely at ease in our practice. In a safe and familiar environment, we give children all the time they need to get used to the dentist calmly. Our friendly approach and personal attention ensure that every visit is a pleasant experience. We help your child to become familiar with oral care gradually, so that future visits to the dentist are natural and free from fear.
Why a child-friendly dentist is 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 fear as much as possible. As children’s dentists, we tailor our communication, working methods and environment entirely to young children. We explain everything calmly, allow children to familiarise themselves with the chair, and engage them in the examination in a playful manner. Parents are always welcome to accompany their children. Our top priorities are trust, safety and fun.
When 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 cavity prevention. 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 dental appointment for children?
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 the condition of their teeth with you. Is further treatment necessary? If so, we will schedule 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, 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 lays the foundation for lifelong dental health. During check-ups, we monitor tooth development and provide advice on protective treatments where necessary. These include sealing molars and applying fluoride. We explain everything in an age-appropriate way.
