So that the visit to the dentist loses its terror
Your child's teeth should stay healthy right from the start. That is why it is good to come to our practice regularly from the very first tooth for check-ups, brushing and dietary advice and prophylaxis – while nothing hurts at all yet.
During children's prophylaxis we explain correct, child-appropriate dental care and a healthy diet to your child. Our treatments take place in a room designed especially for children. In this way your child has the opportunity to be introduced to dental treatment quite light-heartedly.
And if more is needed after all: with surface anaesthesia and – for longer treatments – nitrous oxide sedation, we can reliably take away your child's tension and sensation of pain.
Without fear
This is how we proceed
Three building blocks that turn a dental appointment into a perfectly ordinary appointment.
Local anaesthesia
A pleasant-tasting gel numbs the mucous membrane – all that remains of the injection is a light pressure.
Further information
Nitrous oxide sedation
During longer treatments, fear and tension recede – your child stays awake and responsive.

Frequently Asked Questions
My child is afraid of the dentist – what can I do?
Announce the appointment in good time and in a positive way, and avoid words such as fear, needle or hurt. In the practice we give your child time: first looking, touching and listening, then treating. Whatever does not work on one day, we make up for at the next appointment.
Does the injection at the children's dentist hurt?
Before the injection we numb the lining of the mouth with a pleasant-tasting gel. Your child usually then feels the actual anaesthetic only as slight pressure. We explain every step beforehand – nothing happens unexpectedly.
What happens if my child does not open their mouth?
Then we wait. Pressure does not get anyone anywhere at this point. We use the appointment to build trust and try again next time – it often works considerably better then.
Does my child have to have a general anaesthetic for the treatment?
In the vast majority of cases, no. We work with a local anaesthetic and, for longer treatments, additionally with nitrous oxide sedation. We discuss in detail with you beforehand which is the right way for your child.
How do I prevent my child from becoming afraid in the first place?
Best of all by coming early and regularly while nothing hurts. A child who already knows the practice, the sounds and the dentist experiences a dental appointment later on as something quite normal.
