Children's teeth need special attention: baby tooth enamel is thinner and decay progresses faster. At the same time, early experiences at the dentist shape whether a child grows up afraid of dental visits.
So we work slowly and calmly, explain everything in words your child understands, and never force anything. We start with a check-up and getting to know each other, and plan treatment to be as comfortable as possible.
When to visit
- White or brown spots on the teeth
- Your child avoids chewing on one side
- Pain, swelling or a 'pimple' on the gum
- A permanent tooth coming in crooked
During regular hours we work with the NHIF. Ask us which treatments are covered in your case.
Frequently asked questions
Do baby teeth need treatment if they'll fall out anyway?
Yes. Decay in baby teeth causes pain and infections, and losing them early can make permanent teeth grow in crooked.
Can I stay with my child?
Of course. Having a parent nearby often helps a child feel calm.
