Frequently asked questions about pediatric dentistry
Do you have any questions? Here you'll find answers to frequently asked questions. Is your question not listed? Please feel free to contact us!
At what age should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend bringing your child around the age of two. This allows them to gradually adjust to the practice and allows for early detection of any problems.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
Your child isn't alone. We take extra time to reassure anxious children and calmly explain what's happening. This way, we ensure a stress-free dental experience.
Are dental costs for children covered?
Yes, dental treatments for children up to 18 years old are fully covered by basic health insurance. We therefore recommend that you bring your child along at an early age. This way, you'll prepare your child well and it won't cost you a thing!
How often should my child come for a check-up?
We recommend bringing your child in for a checkup twice a year. This allows us to closely monitor their teeth and address any problems early on.
When do children start losing their baby teeth?
Children usually begin losing baby teeth around age six. This process can continue until about age twelve.
