Paediatric dentistry
Why is paediatric dentistry important?
Teeth are particularly susceptible to tooth decay during childhood. Not only is the care of milk teeth important, but also the later development of permanent teeth: an early dental examination helps to recognise problems and lays the foundation for lifelong dental health.
This includes:
- Prophylaxis and prevention (check-up, teeth cleaning, instructions on dental care, dental sealant)
- Dental restorations (child-friendly treatment of dental damage)
- Correction of misaligned teeth (tooth and jaw problems)
- Tooth development and counselling
Our dentist Dr Katarina Tominz attaches particular importance to caring for children gently and sensitively so that a visit to the dentist is a positive experience.

Dental hygiene
Dental hygiene and prophylaxis are very important in our orthodontic practice, because only regular professional dental cleaning guarantees optimal control of teeth, gums and periodontium. This enables effective early detection of caries and periodontitis before permanent damage occurs.
Dental cleaning is carried out by our experienced prophylaxis assistant Sarah Portmann.
