Healthy teeth start at a young age. You can't start early enough with good oral care and healthy eating habits. Going to the dentist should be as natural as going to the baker or the butcher.
At Tandartsenpraktijk Botman we have dentists with a great affinity for treating children. For us, pediatric dentistry is not only about preventing and solving dental problems, but also about creating a pleasant, safe experience. In this way, we ensure that your child feels at ease and will continue to visit the dentist without fear.
Children are also very welcome in our practice. From the age of 3 they can officially come for a check-up, but they can always come earlier to get used to it or just sit in the chair. Everything at their own pace.
The importance of pediatric dentistry
Most cavities occur between the ages of 4 and 21. That is why we pay extra attention to prevention in this phase of life. Think of brushing instructions, nutritional advice and – where necessary – applying a protective sealing to permanent molars. In this way, we significantly reduce the chance of cavities. Because here too, prevention is better than cure.
During a check-up, we look beyond just teeth. We also pay attention to breathing behavior – such as mouth or nose breathing – because this affects facial growth. Where necessary, we can make timely adjustments to help prevent facial and dental position deviations later on and thus shorten the duration of future braces.
The first check-up can already take place around the first year of your child's life. This way we can signal any problems early and prevent future complaints with appropriate advice. Healthy baby teeth are also important for the correct development of the permanent teeth.
Our advice: have your child come in for a check-up every six months, just like you do yourself.
