Prophylaxis for children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years
- Coverage of costs by statutory health insurance companies
Our basic care program (child prophylaxis) is taken over by the statutory health insurance companies. Children and adolescents from 6 to 18 years old can participate free of charge.
Every 6 months, the plaque on the teeth is removed, followed by intensive cleaning of all smooth surfaces with subsequent high-gloss polishing. The optimal tooth brushing technique and the causes of caries development are explained.
Finally, the enamel is fluoridated to make it more resistant to caries bacteria. Small and large molars are often particularly susceptible to caries due to their grooves and pits. These niches are ideal hiding places for bacteria. If necessary, these caries-prone areas are effectively coated with a protective varnish for the long term.
