We treat children in an age-appropriate, playful manner and without pressure. With early examinations, preventive programmes and child-friendly explanations, we lay the foundation for lasting dental health.
Suitable for children and with a lot of empathy
Treatments for children place special demands on the dental team. We know this as treating dentists and as parents! Our personal goal is therefore to create trust. Child-friendly, playful and with a lot of empathy, we respond to our youngest patients and take away the worry and uncertainty of visiting the dentist.
Everyone wants beautiful, healthy teeth and gums for life. Children's and adolescents' teeth require very special care and you can never start too early! In addition to daily teeth cleaning, a healthy diet and regular dental check-ups, we offer our little and youngest patients an individual preventive programme. Our preventive care team patiently introduce the children to dental care in an age-appropriate manner. It is especially important to us to strengthen the children's and adolescents' personal responsibility and to motivate them to maintain oral hygiene at home - so that their teeth and gums remain healthy into adulthood.
free of charge for legally insured children
Our smallest patients (from the first tooth break through to 6 years of age) are included in our early examination program. This benefit is also free of charge for legally insured children.
In addition, we offer all children an advanced professional preventive programme. This exceeds the benefits of the statutory health insurance funds and additionally includes: Long-term protection by applying a special antibacterial varnish (Cervitec) and custom-made fluoridation rails for home melt curing (for children and adolescents particularly at risk of caries).
Coverage of costs by statutory health insurance companies
Our basic preventive care programme for children is covered by statutory health insurance. Children and adolescents from 6 to 18 years old can participate free of charge.
Every 6 months, the plaque on the teeth is removed, followed by intensive cleaning of all smooth surfaces with subsequent high-gloss polishing. The optimal tooth brushing technique and the causes of caries development are explained.
Finally, the enamel is fluoridated to make it more resistant to caries bacteria. Small and large molars are often particularly susceptible to caries due to their grooves and pits. These niches are ideal hiding places for bacteria. If necessary, these caries-prone areas are effectively coated with a protective varnish for the long term.
Have your child undergo the first follow-up examination before treatment is needed. The visit to the dentist will then be associated with a positive experience in the future. Please avoid comments such as “it doesn’t hurt”. Statements like this quickly provoke negative feelings. Also, avoid words such as “fear”, “squirt” or “drill” and prefer to speak of “tooth falling asleep”. Try to be positive yourself, this will encourage your child that nothing can happen to him.
Instruments and treatments are documented by us with child-friendly terms. Children who are unwilling to receive treatment are not persuaded or detained by us. We respect your child's boundaries. With a lot of patience and empathy, we do everything we can to ensure that your child comes to us without fear.
If a jaw regulation (braces) is required, we refer your child to specialists in orthodontics. Accompanying orthodontic therapy, we monitor any treatment needs (tartar removal, caries prophylaxis, dental check-ups, etc.).
Ideally, before any treatment is needed – in other words, as soon as the first teeth appear. This allows your child to get to know the practice in a relaxed manner and associate visits to the dentist with something positive.
Every six months, plaque is removed, teeth are cleaned and polished, the correct brushing technique is explained and, finally, the enamel is fluoridated. This basic prophylaxis is covered by statutory health insurance.
Children's teeth are particularly susceptible to caries due to the grooves and pits on their molars. With early preventive care, sealants and regular check-ups, we can prevent this from leading to more extensive treatment later on.
Come early, speak positively about the dentist and avoid words such as “fear”, “drill” or “injection”. We explain everything in a child-friendly way – you don't need to warn your child that ‘it won't hurt’, as this often triggers fear.
We do not persuade or restrain children. We explain, demonstrate instruments using child-friendly terms, and respect the child's boundaries. With patience, things usually go better at the next appointment.
Because teeth only stay healthy in the long term if they are cleaned properly at home. That's why we let children practise themselves and explain things in an age-appropriate way – so they become more confident in their dental care.
Yes, it is often helpful because the children see that it is not a bad thing – this builds trust in the practice in Regensburg.
