Time, patience and the right moment
The teeth and jaws of children and adolescents are constantly developing. Early and regular check-ups allow us to determine the best time to begin treatment on a completely individual basis – and to respond effectively to growth-related changes in the dentition.
The period of the change of teeth is particularly important. It is often here that it is decided whether a small measure is enough or whether more extensive treatment will be needed later.
Early care also takes away your child's shyness: those who already know the practice when nothing hurts also come along relaxed when something does need to be done.
Our Services
Treatments for the primary dentition
Baby teeth are space maintainers for the permanent teeth. That is why we treat them just as carefully – only in a child-friendly way.
Crowns for baby teeth
If decay has badly damaged a molar, a prefabricated children's crown completely encloses the tooth and protects it.
Further information
Root canal treatment
If decay has reached the tooth nerve, a root canal treatment can preserve the baby tooth as a space maintainer.
Further information
Space maintainer
If a baby tooth is lost too early, a removable space maintainer keeps the gap open for the permanent tooth.

Early treatment
Some misalignments can be steered in the right direction with simple means while the baby teeth are still in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do baby teeth have to be treated if they fall out anyway?
Baby teeth keep the space free for the permanent teeth and are needed for chewing and speaking. If a baby tooth is lost too early, the neighbouring teeth drift into the gap and the tooth coming through has too little space. That is why we treat them just as carefully as permanent teeth.
What happens if a baby tooth is lost too early?
Then we keep the gap open with a space maintainer so that the neighbouring teeth do not drift in. The space maintainer is made individually and regularly adjusted to your child's growth.
Can a baby tooth be given a crown?
Yes. If a baby molar is so badly damaged that a filling no longer holds securely, we fit a prefabricated children's crown. It encloses the tooth completely and later falls out on its own together with the baby tooth.
Does treating a baby tooth hurt?
We treat with a local anaesthetic, preceded by a pleasant-tasting numbing gel. For longer treatments, nitrous oxide sedation is additionally possible. Your child is told exactly what will happen beforehand.
How often should my child come for a check-up?
As a rule twice a year. During the change of teeth or if there is an increased risk of decay, a shorter interval can make sense – we will tell you what suits your situation.
