Children at the dentist — calm and fear-free

Get-to-know-us visits, patience, colourful fillings and nitrous oxide sedation for those who are really scared.

Children’s dentistry

For little ones

The dentist? It can be an adventure.

Get-to-know-us visits, patience and — when needed — nitrous oxide sedation. After a whiff of “laughing gas” our youngest patients tell us they flew a rocket or danced at a ball.

What little patients dream about under sedation

  • a rocket flight
  • a princess ball
  • swimming with dolphins
  • a trip by plane
  • outer space
  • a sandcastle

Children’s dentistry

We want a trip to the dentist to feel like a small adventure. We start with a get-to-know-us visit: your child meets the room, the chair and the team, and — if they’re happy to — we take a look at their teeth and bite. Nothing is ever forced.

  • get-to-know-us visits
  • fillings in baby teeth (colourful ones too)
  • dressings and extractions of baby teeth
  • fluoride varnish and fissure sealants
  • silver nitrate treatment

Nitrous oxide sedation

A mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen, breathed through a small mask, relaxes and calms — while the dentist stays in contact with the patient the whole time. The dose is adjusted as we go. Children often dream of flying a rocket, dancing at a princess ball or swimming. Sedation also helps patients with a strong gag reflex during impressions.

  • treating children under sedation
  • treating adults with dental anxiety
  • impressions for patients with a strong gag reflex

The first visit — how to prepare your child

  1. 1

    Come for a get-to-know-us visit before anything hurts — the first meeting should be a pleasant one.

  2. 2

    Be positive, but don’t promise “it won’t hurt at all”.

  3. 3

    Don’t share your own bad dentist memories in front of your child.

  4. 4

    At the first visit we only look at teeth and bite if your child is happy for us to.

  5. 5

    We’ll talk about hygiene: how to brush a child’s teeth and how often to come for check-ups (every 3–4 months).

Advice

Xylitol — the sugar your teeth likeXylitol, or birch sugar, is a natural sweetener that helps your teeth instead of harming them.
  • It fights decay — that’s why it’s in chewing gum.
  • It boosts saliva flow by up to 300%.
  • It raises pH and strengthens saliva’s buffering capacity.
  • It inhibits Streptococcus mutans bacteria.
  • It helps the body absorb calcium — especially good for children.
Baby teeth — how to care for themBaby teeth decay more easily than permanent ones — care starts with the very first tooth.
  • Brush your child’s teeth together after meals.
  • Give sweets after a meal, not as a snack in between.
  • Don’t soothe your child with sweets or sugary drinks.
  • At night and after brushing, offer only plain water.
  • Dental check-ups every 3–4 months.
Fissure sealing — a shield for children’s teethA sealant closes the grooves where decay most often starts. It’s completely painless.
  • Cuts the risk of decay by up to 90%.
  • Protects spots a toothbrush can hardly reach.
  • The smooth surface makes daily brushing easier.
  • Best done right after the permanent molars come through — usually at age 6–7.
