Our aim is to offer children and their parents comprehensive advice and care in all areas of paediatric and adolescent dentistry.
In our child-orientated practice, we strive to make the visit a positive experience for the children. We use playful and visual elements by introducing the topic of dental health through the dental bunny and his friends. The entire practice is geared towards the needs of children, from the colourful and cheerful waiting areas to the treatment rooms.
Our team consists of specially trained staff who specialise in looking after children. We use educational material specifically tailored to the age of the children to make it easier for them to learn about dental health.
Prophylaxis starts with children
Prophylaxis begins as soon as children's first milk teeth erupt. At this point, counselling is essential. The topics include:
- Nutrition
- Dental hygiene
- Habits like thumb sucking
- Development phases of the teeth
- Regular check-ups and treatment steps
Regular dental check-ups and consistent oral hygiene are crucial for long-term dental health.
Nutrition
The main causes of tooth decay are sweet drinks, a high-carbohydrate diet, prolonged bottle-feeding and inadequate oral hygiene. We therefore have specially developed educational material for each age group to address these issues.
Brushing your teeth
As parents are the role models for their children, we involve the parents and recommend that they brush their teeth together at the beginning.
Child- and age-appropriate toothbrushing utensils and toothpaste can also have the desired motivating effect.
Teeth should be cleaned after every main meal and additionally after every sugary snack, but at least twice a day.
X-ray
We use modern X-ray machines with low radiation exposure. These make it possible to see areas such as the bone, the area under the enamel and the spaces between the teeth that are not accessible to the naked eye.
X-ray technology is used to detect caries at an early stage, especially if caries is suspected between the teeth.
For children aged 7 to 9 years, we recommend the first small x-rays. If the dentition is free of caries and there are no signs of increased susceptibility to caries, it is sufficient to take the next X-rays of the permanent dentition at the age of 11 to 13.
In addition to the small X-ray images for caries diagnosis, an overview image (orthopantomography/OPT) can also be taken to assess the development of the dentition and the arrangement of the teeth.
Before the first visit to the dentist
It is important to radiate safety and calm in order to give your child a positive feeling. They should recognise that a visit to the dentist is something normal and useful.
Avoid negative phrases such as "It won't hurt" or "You don't need to be afraid", as these phrases can cause fear and mistrust in your child. Also avoid fear-inducing words such as "syringe" or "drill".
Orthodontics for adults
It might be helpful to read your child a book about their first visit to the dentist or look at the positive pictures on our website. Of course, you can also bring your child's favourite cuddly toy to the appointment.
For our treatment instruments, we use terms that the child recognises and that have positive connotations. So we don't talk about a "syringe", but about "sleeping pearls or glitter pearls", the drill becomes an "electric toothbrush" or an "excavator", and the lamp becomes the "sun". Our teeth are "put to sleep", "brushed", "showered" and "creamed".
Anaesthesia
Pain-free anaesthesia
By applying an anaesthetic ointment to the surface and using a computer-assisted, controlled anaesthetic technique (the "magic wand"), we can guarantee a pain-free anaesthetic.
Treatment under nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide can also be used to support dental treatments. Nitrous oxide has a calming effect and reduces the sensation of pain. Treatment with laughing gas has no physical limitations after the treatment.
Treatment under general anaesthetic
General anaesthesia is indicated for major or lengthy procedures, for very anxious children or children with mental disabilities.
A team of anaesthetists experienced with children will take care of your child's education and well-being.
Dental accident
It can happen that teeth are broken, chipped, displaced or even knocked out as a result of an accident. If you suspect a concussion (dizziness, vomiting, unevenly sized pupils), please contact your family doctor immediately or contact the hospital. Every dental accident should be reported to the dentist and the insurance company. Even minor injuries can lead to long-term consequences.
What to do?
- Report any dental accident to the dentist immediately.
- Explain what happened, when, how and where.
- Report the age of the person/child concerned.
- Are milk or permanent teeth affected?
- Even minor accidents can lead to complications.
- Correct behaviour is crucial.
