Children’s dentistry Amsterdam-Zuid & Amstelveen

Our pediatric dentists recommend bringing children to the dental office from the emergence of the first tooth. Your first periodic checkup after your child’s first tooth appears is an appropriate time for this.

Of course, you can also just make an appointment for your child. These costs are fully reimbursed by the health insurance company.

Our dentist makes the visit as pleasant as possible for each child. With jokes, distractions, but above all patience and lots of attention, we try to do this as best we can.

Therefore, we are the best choice for an enjoyable dental visit for children.

    The first dental visit for children in Amsterdam & Amstelveen

    This first visit with your child is short and actually intended as a familiarization visit. It is all about building a trusting relationship between your child and the (pediatric) dentist. We always advise the parent, to give the child alone with the assistant so that the (pediatric) dentist can deal with the child one-on-one and he or she gets all the attention alone.

    Prevention and education visits in children

    Over time, habituation visits to the dentist for children are extended to a prevention and education visit. Prevention will focus on how to avoid getting cavities. In these ways, children get more and more used to the dentist and to taking care of their teeth.

    Orthodontics for children in Amsterdam & Amstelveen

    It is especially important for children to have an orthodontic checkup in time to begin any necessary correction in a timely manner. This may prevent the need to extract (pull molars) later in life due to lack of space. Our dentists have extensive experience with children’s dentistry and can therefore identify early whether you need to take action. We are happy to advise you on this.

    What does the dentist pay extra close attention to in children?

    Brushing behavior: We check how clean the teeth are. If necessary, we can give advice on how to brush even better.

    Grooves in the molars: Sometimes children have deep grooves. This is an additional risk for cavities. We check carefully to see if these are present.

    Teeth and molars sealing: To prevent your children from getting cavities at an early age, we can seal teeth. It depends on your child’s teeth whether or not this is recommended.

    Suckling lesions: Sometimes children’s teeth can be affected by the sugars in milk. especially when drinking from a bottle for long periods of time, this chance increases. We check teeth thoroughly for this unpleasant damage.

    How do you get your children used to the pediatric dentist?

    Going to the dentist can be exciting for many children, especially if it is their first time. To prevent your child from dreading the semi-annual checkups, we have three helpful tips to help them become familiar with the dentist in a pleasant way.

    Tip 1: Prepare your child

    Are you yourself nervous about the dentist? Try not to convey this to your child. Tell them in advance in a calm manner that you are going to the pediatric dentist in Amsterdam Zuid and explain that the dentist will only take a look in their mouth. Don’t go into too much detail about possible treatments – leave that to our children’s dentist. They often have a playful and understandable way of explaining, making it less exciting.

    Tip 2: Support your child during the visit to the pediatric dentist

    Children often like it when mom or dad sits next to them during treatment. Holding a hand can make them feel safe and secure, making them feel stronger.

    As a parent, do try not to talk too much, as this can be distracting. Let the dentist take the lead and explain the treatment. It is good to help your child relax, but during the treatment they will be better able to concentrate without additional stimuli (no watching TV).

    Tip 3: Give a reward after the visit to the children’s dentist

    Did your child behave well during treatment? Then reward them with something small, such as a present, a compliment or a fun activity together. This is especially true if your child found it exciting. A reward can help bring the experience to a positive close and distract your child, making dental visits less fraught in the future.
