From what age should my child have regular dental check-ups?
Children should have regular check-ups from the time their first milk tooth erupts (around the age of 6 months). This helps to detect and prevent dental problems at an early stage.
How can I prepare my child for the first visit to the maxillofacial practice?
Explain the procedure to your child in a child-friendly and positive way. Avoid scary terms such as "syringe" or "pain" and emphasize that it is about the health of his teeth.
What anesthetic methods are used on children and are they safe?
We use local anesthetics, nitrous oxide or, in exceptional cases, anesthesia. All methods are safe, specially designed for children and are individually adapted to your child's needs.
What should I do if my child has a dental accident?
Seek emergency dental or maxillofacial care as soon as possible. Keep broken teeth or tooth fragments moist, ideally in a dental box, and avoid touching the root.
When is a correction of the frenulum of the lip or tongue necessary for my child?
Correction is necessary if a frenulum that is too tight hinders breastfeeding, speaking, chewing or tooth development. This is usually determined from infancy.
What should I consider after a tooth extraction on my child?
Your child should rest and eat soft, cool food on the day of treatment. Avoid excessive rinsing and make sure that the wound is not touched with the tongue or fingers. You will receive further details from your practitioner after the procedure.
How can I tell if my child has jaw misalignments that need to be treated?
Indications can be difficulties in chewing, speaking or an asymmetrical jaw shape. Your dentist or orthodontist can diagnose misalignments through an early examination.
What measures can I take to promote my child's dental health?
Regular tooth brushing from the first tooth, a healthy diet (low in sugar) and fluoride toothpaste are essential. Check-ups should take place at least twice a year.
How do I deal with my child's dental anxiety and how can the practice help?
Stay positive and avoid transferring your own anxiety. Our practice offers a child-friendly environment and we use techniques such as nitrous oxide and sensitive communication to allay your child's fears.
What role does nutrition play in my child's dental health?
A balanced diet with little sugar, fresh fruit and vegetables and sufficient calcium promotes dental health. Avoid sticky or sugary snacks that promote tooth decay.
