The intake appointment serves as an introduction to your dentist. During this appointment, our method of working will be discussed with you and then a regular periodic check-up will take place. If necessary, X-rays will also be taken. Afterwards, a treatment plan will be set up in accordance with you. With more comprehensive plans, a follow-up appointment can be scheduled to further discuss the treatment plan.
At our dental practice we pay a lot of attention to prevention. Good prevention is necessary to prevent problems and thus reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease. If tartar is present or information concerning your oral hygiene, an appointment can be made with the dental hygienist. The dental hygienist will thoroughly clean the teeth and give instructions and information to keep the teeth healthy. In contemporary dentistry, the dental hygienist is indispensable to maintain your oral health.
We always strive to plan your appointment with the same dentist or dental hygienist. We believe that this is fundamental to create a good relationship of trust between the practitioner and patient.
In the case of pain or an emergency, it is possible that another practicioner is available to help you. In that case, we will discuss your preference with you.

The dentist can already see a lot in your mouth, but it is difficult to see what is going on in between the teeth and that is precisely where most cavities occur. X-rays are therefore necessary to diagnose cavities between the teeth.
Furthermore, X-rays may be required to properly visualize the anatomical structure for example during root canal treatments, tooth extractions or for a crown placement.
Many medications affect your oral health, for example certain medication can lead to a higher risk of cavities, gum disease or a dry mouth. In addition, certain medications can cause complications after a treatment if they are not taken into account.
It is also possible that the dentist will prescribe certain medication that is not compatible with your current medication and cause unwanted side effects.
It is always important to maintain your oral health, especially during pregnancy. The gums can be inflamed during pregnancy and these bacteria could also affect your child’s health. It is highly recommended to visit the dental hygienist but please always inform your practitioner that you are pregnant.
