Pediatric dentist

Good oral health starts at a young age. At De Mond van Leiden, we help children become familiar with the dentist and caring for their teeth, step by step. We take our time, clearly explain what we are doing, and tailor our approach to your child's age and needs.

The emphasis is not only on treating problems, but especially on preventing them. In this way, we work together towards healthy teeth and a positive experience at the dentist.

Regular check-ups help keep your child's teeth healthy and detect any problems early. During a appointment Therefore, we not only look at the teeth, but also pay attention to the gums, the development of the teeth, and daily oral care.

Depending on your child's age and situation, oral care may consist of:

• Periodic checks to monitor the development and health of the teeth.
• Preventive oral care aimed at preventing cavities and other dental problems.
• Cleaning advice and guidance to help your child with good daily oral care.
• Dental cleaning when necessary, for example with plaque or tartar.
• Treatment of dental problems, where we always take into account your child's age and pace.

By guiding children from a young age, we aim not only to prevent problems but also to instill good habits that will benefit them later in life.

A visit to the dentist can be quite scary for children, especially when everything is still new. That is why, at De Mond van Leiden, we take the time to introduce your child to the dentist in a calm and positive way.

We explain what we are going to do in an understandable way and take into account your child's age, pace, and reaction. Is your child unsure or does he or she need a little more time? Then we adjust our approach accordingly. In this way, we build trust step by step and ensure that a visit to the dentist feels increasingly familiar.

Most regular dental care for children up to 18 years of age is reimbursed from the basic insurance. Think of periodic check-ups, preventive care, and common dental treatments. There is no deductible for this care.

Not all treatments are covered by basic insurance as standard. Orthodontics, such as braces, for example, is only covered under certain conditions or from a supplementary insurance reimbursed. The amount of reimbursement that applies therefore depends on the treatment and your health insurance.

Do you have questions about the costs of treatment for your child? We are happy to explain in advance what you can expect and which costs, if any, may be at your own expense.
