Children's dentistry
Our team looks after the prevention and treatment of children's teeth. Many associate a visit to the dentist with a feeling of unease and perhaps fear. Our practice therefore strives for a warm and friendly atmosphere. Only then does trust develop, and only then does cooperation with the child succeed. We give our little patients particular attention during treatment.
In briefChildren should visit the dentist for the first time when the first milk teeth come through, at the latest by their first birthday. German statutory insurance covers six early check-ups up to the age of six, individual prophylaxis from 6 to 17 and the sealing of the permanent molars. With us, children get to know the practice playfully and without pressure.

Tips for the first visit
It is best to come before anything hurts: a first visit without treatment, during which your child gets to know the practice, the team and the dental chair, takes away the shyness. At home, talk about the visit positively and without pressure, and avoid words such as “injection” or “hurt”. We take our time and explain every step in a child-friendly way.
Frequently asked questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
The first early detection check-up is scheduled from 30 months; a first get-to-know visit makes sense even earlier, as soon as the first milk teeth are there.
Are milk teeth really important?
Yes. Healthy milk teeth are placeholders for the permanent teeth and important for chewing, speaking and jaw development.
What is fissure sealing?
The deep grooves of the permanent molars are sealed with a thin resin so that no caries can form there. For insurers this is a preventive service.
