Children
Did you know that most treatments for children up to the age of 18 are covered by basic insurance?
Our young patients are welcome in our dental practice on IJburg from the age of 2.5. During your youth, you lay the foundation for good oral health. On average, two dental check-ups per year are enough.
Every child has the opportunity to maintain a healthy set of teeth through preventive treatments. With fluoride gel, we ensure that the tooth enamel becomes stronger.
In some cases, the molars have deep grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces. Sometimes it’s difficult to keep these grooves and pits clean. To minimize the risk of cavities on the chewing surfaces, we may recommend sealing these grooves and pits. This way, bacteria have no chance to hide from the toothbrush.
Here are a few tips to ensure your child enjoys going to the dentist/dental hygienist:
- If your child asks questions about the dentist visit at home, it’s a good idea to ask these questions together with us.
- Don’t promise gifts. A child might think something bad will happen.
- We are used to treating small children in a calm manner. We hope that you, as a parent, trust us in this approach.
