Dental care for children
A child’s first visit to the dentist should take place after the first teeth have erupted. It is very important to come to an appointment before problems arise in the mouth, so that the dental check-up is not unpleasant for the child.
At the first appointment, we perform an examination of the child’s oral cavity, during which we inform the parent about how the child’s teeth should be cleaned and what should be paid attention to.
Teeth should be checked every six months, as plaque develops very quickly in children and is not noticeable to parents in the initial stages. A deep cavity may have, however, already formed.
The Health Insurance Fund pays for dental care (including some prostheses) for patients under the age of 19. The appointment fee is €5.
