First Experiences That Build Trust
How a child experiences their first dental visit often shapes how they later approach their own dental health. That's why we explain everything in a child-friendly way, take our time, and calmly show the instruments before they're used.
From decay prevention to fissure sealing to treating the first signs of tooth decay, we accompany children through every stage of their dental development.
For especially anxious children, gentle nitrous oxide sedation can, by arrangement, allow for a more relaxed treatment.

Learn MoreTaking Children's Worries Seriously
We take the fears and worries of our youngest patients seriously. A positive first contact with the dentist often shapes later attitudes toward dental care and dental treatment.
Patience, age-appropriate communication, and a relaxed environment aim to make every visit as pleasant as possible.
Your First Appointment
Please plan a bit more time for the first appointment and ideally arrive around ten minutes early, so there's enough time for the initial consultation.
Please bring your child's health insurance card, the yellow child health record book, and feel free to bring a favorite stuffed animal too. We care about making the first dental visit a positive experience from the very start – with plenty of time, patience, and child-friendly explanations at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions
From what age should a child visit the dentist for the first time?
A first, no-obligation get-to-know-you visit usually makes sense soon after the first baby teeth erupt, at the latest by the first birthday. This way the child gets used to the practice environment early on, without needing to be treated right away.
Do baby teeth with cavities actually need to be treated?
Yes, baby teeth should also be treated for tooth decay, as they act as placeholders for the permanent teeth and treatment avoids pain or inflammation. Untreated decay can also affect the teeth growing in afterwards.
How do I prepare my child for a visit to the dentist?
Talk about the visit in a neutral way without conveying your own fears; small role-play at home can help. At our practice, we also take extra time to explain everything in a child-friendly way and show the instruments beforehand.
What is fissure sealing, and does my child need it?
With fissure sealing, the deep grooves of the molars are closed with a thin plastic material to prevent tooth decay. It is often particularly useful for freshly erupted permanent molars; we advise you on this individually.
