Periodic inspection

To maintain good oral health, it is important to have your teeth checked regularly by a dentist. Tandzorg Kralingen recommends visiting your dentist every six months for a check-up.

During the check-up, the dentist will examine your entire mouth, including your tongue and mucous membranes, as well as your teeth and gums. In some cases, photographs of your teeth may be necessary in order to make a proper diagnosis. After the check-up, the dentist will discuss the next steps with you and, if necessary, arrange follow-up appointments.

Periodic inspection rates

Dental fees are set by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa). In many cases, a regular check-up involves several treatments. For instance, X-rays may need to be taken, fluoride treatment may be required, tartar may need to be removed and the teeth may need to be cleaned.

Are periodic check-ups reimbursed?

The reimbursement you receive for dental treatment depends on the terms of your health insurance policy. For insured persons under the age of 18, basic insurance covers a range of dental treatments, including regular check-ups. For insured persons over the age of 18, reimbursement depends on the specific terms of their health insurance policy. Therefore, we always advise you to check with your health insurer which treatments are covered in your case.

Have your teeth checked preventively

Regular check-ups with your dentist or dental hygienist are important for preventing dental problems. This enables us to identify any issues with your teeth or mouth early on and address them promptly.

The dentist will carry out a dental check-up. They will draw up a treatment plan with you and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist, such as an oral surgeon or orthodontist.

Also check-ups when you have no complaints

Tandzorg Kralingen recommends regular dental check-ups, even if you are not experiencing any problems. Many dental diseases develop without causing any immediate discomfort.

Frequently asked questions about periodic inspections

We often receive questions from patients about periodic check-ups. We have compiled and answered the most frequently asked questions below.

When should I have a check-up?

It is wise to visit the dentist twice a year for a regular check-up. This enables the dentist to monitor your teeth closely and address any issues promptly. If you are experiencing pain in a molar, for example, you should also make an appointment so that the dentist can examine it.

How long does a routine dental check-up take?

A check-up usually takes around 10 minutes. During this time, the dentist will examine your teeth and gums for any problems.

What would happen if the dentist discovered any dental problems during the check-up?

The dentist may decide to monitor the problem. If further treatment is necessary, they will draw up a plan with you. You may also be referred to a specialist.
