PEDIATRIC DENTIST COLOGNE
A child’s first visit to the dentist is crucial for a positive and anxiety-free attitude towards the dentist in the long term. In our dental practice, our empathetic team ensures that children feel comfortable from the first moment. As an experienced pediatric dentist in Cologne, we attach great importance to a stress-free atmosphere, playful trust and child-friendly treatments – from the first milk tooth to the change of teeth and regular check-ups.
PREVENTION WITHOUT FEAR
Children need an empathetic pediatric dentist who patiently, calmly and in a child-friendly manner explains what is happening and treats them as painlessly as possible. It is important to take each child seriously and build trust. Understanding, patience and a calm atmosphere are our focus in Cologne, so that the visit to the dentist is experienced positively from the start.
YOUR SMILE, YOUR HEALTH.
We look forward to your appointment – with the whole family.Milk teeth
Many parents believe that milk teeth are less important because they are later replaced by permanent teeth – but this is a mistake. A healthy set of milk teeth is the basis for permanently healthy teeth.
Premature loss of milk teeth can cause the permanent teeth to erupt incorrectly. In addition, caries in the milk teeth age means an increased risk of later dental diseases. That’s why early prevention is so important in pediatric dentistry.
Give your child the chance to maintain their natural, healthy teeth for a lifetime.
Brushing
It takes about two years for a child to have all of their milk teeth. Parents should start daily dental care as soon as the first teeth erupt. Initially, a cotton swab is sufficient, later a soft children’s toothbrush and special children’s toothpaste can be used.
Children should learn early on that oral hygiene is part of everyday life and can be fun. At our pediatric dentist in Cologne, we will be happy to advise you on the correct dental care for your child and give individual tips so that your child’s teeth remain healthy from the start.
Questions and Answers
When should my child go to the dentist for the first time?
The first visit to the dentist should take place at the latest when the first milk tooth erupts. This way, your child gets used to visiting the dentist early on and possible dental problems can be identified in good time.
Why is the care of milk teeth so important?
Milk teeth are crucial for the development of the jaw and the eruption of permanent teeth. Caries on milk teeth can later lead to misaligned teeth or increased susceptibility to caries.
What to do if my child has chalky teeth (MIH)?
Chalky teeth are sensitive, porous teeth that can easily break or hurt. In our practice in Cologne, we advise you individually on suitable protective measures and gentle treatment options for MIH.
How can I teach my child to brush their teeth properly?
From the first tooth, parents should brush daily with a children’s toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Our team shows in the toothbrushing school and in the toothbrushing training how children playfully develop a good brushing routine.
Does mundum also offer treatments for children with dental anxiety?
