Your dentist for children at Frankfurter Bogen
Treating children requires a great deal of empathy, time and calm. Our aim is to motivate your child to take an active part through a dental appointment that is as relaxed as possible, and to turn the visit to the dentist into a positive experience.
We deliberately take this time – even if at the first appointment nothing is treated yet and we only look, count and explain.
A visit to the dentist can be fun
Children are particularly open to new experiences. In order to maintain the curiosity and willingness of the little ones to cooperate, we introduce our young patients to dental treatment in a child-friendly and playful way.
Without fear: We take your child's fears very seriously. One of our most important aims is that your daughter or son accepts ordinary dental treatments without fear. We will gladly explain what we do to achieve this at the very first visit.
For healthy teeth right from the start
Children need special care. They should be able to become familiar with the subject of the dental practice without fear and be informed in a way appropriate to their age. Milk teeth have soft enamel and are more sensitive – which is why prophylaxis should be practised from the very beginning.
You can bring your child to see us from the very first tooth. On request you receive prophylaxis care that is tailored precisely to your child's stage of development.
A plan for good health
Three elements for lasting dental health
Age-appropriate dental care at home, regular check-up visits and a tooth-friendly diet all work together. The aim is to prevent conditions such as caries and periodontitis wherever possible.
Regular check-ups
Short, friendly check-up appointments keep the threshold low and often make larger treatments unnecessary.
A tooth-friendly diet
Sweets are allowed – what matters is the amount, the timing and what happens afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
As soon as the first milk tooth is there. The first visit is usually just about getting to know each other, looking and counting - that takes away children's shyness and makes later appointments easier.
My child is very anxious. What can we do?
We take the anxiety seriously and work with short, positive appointments without pressure. Please avoid sentences at home such as "It won't hurt" - that is what first plants the idea of pain. Speak to us beforehand and we will schedule more time.
Do milk teeth even need treating - they fall out anyway?
Yes. Milk teeth hold the space for the permanent teeth, are important for chewing and speaking and can become inflamed. Decay in milk teeth can moreover damage the permanent tooth developing underneath.
Is my child allowed to eat sweets?
Sweets are allowed - what matters is the amount, the frequency and the timing. Better one portion after a meal than many small ones spread over the day. We are happy to give you concrete tips that work in everyday life.
What is individual prophylaxis for children?
A preventive programme tailored to your child's stage of development: brushing training, checking of oral care, fluoride application and, once the permanent molars are through, sealing of the fissures.
