Frequently asked questions from parents

When should my child first see a dentist?

A first visit makes sense once the first teeth have come through, and at the latest around the first birthday. Early appointments are mainly about familiarisation.

My child is anxious – what can I do?

At home, avoid mentioning pain or needles, even reassuringly. We work at your child’s pace and never rush things.

Do baby teeth really need treating?

Yes. Baby teeth hold the space for the permanent teeth, and caries can cause pain and spread to neighbouring teeth.

Does insurance cover the cost?

Swiss basic insurance covers children’s dental treatment only in specific cases. Many municipalities also run school dental services.

How often should my child come?

Usually once or twice a year. With a higher caries risk, shorter intervals can make sense.

Can parents come into the treatment room?

Yes, of course. That said, some children relax more easily when parents stay a little in the background.
