Prevention and Trust from the Start

At Bols Tandartsen, children and oral health are our top priorities. As a preventive dental practice, we provide care focused on avoiding dental problems such as cavities in children of all ages. Our experienced team of dentists and dental hygienists has extensive expertise in treating children, creating a safe, trustworthy, and child-friendly environment.

Prevention at the Dentist for Children

Prevention is better than cure. That’s why we follow the national program ‘Gewoon Gaaf’, developed by the Ivoren Kruis. This prevention program targets children from 0 to 18 years old and actively helps prevent cavities through a personalized approach. It is scientifically proven to be effective for this age group.

When your child visits us for a check-up, we focus on preventive oral care, which includes:

Personalized brushing instructions tailored to age and skill level
Advice on healthy nutrition for strong teeth
Regular fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel
Early detection and treatment of tooth decay
Sealing of molars to better protect against cavities

With this combination of guidance and protection, children learn how to take care of their own oral health—both now and in the future.

Fear-Free Dental Visits

We take the time to make every child feel at ease. Through a calm, step-by-step approach, we build trust and create a positive dental experience. Each treatment plan is tailored to the child’s age, development, and any dental anxiety they may have. This ensures your child visits the dentist with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I register as a new patient at the dental practice?

You can easily register by clicking the registration button and submitting your details. We also kindly ask you to request your dental records from your previous dentist and have them sent to: info@bolstandartsen.nl

What types of dental treatments does the practice offer?

Our dental practice offers a wide range of treatments, including routine check-ups, dental cleanings, fillings, root canal treatments, dental implants, and cosmetic procedures. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us or ask your practitioner.

What is the average waiting time for an appointment?

Waiting times vary depending on your flexibility, but we aim to see patients as soon as possible. Routine six-month check-ups usually have shorter waiting times than specific treatments. Please contact our reception for the most up-to-date information on availability.

Are emergency appointments available for urgent dental issues?

Yes, we offer emergency appointments for urgent cases. Please contact us immediately if you need urgent care, and we will do our best to help you as quickly as possible.

Can I schedule or change my appointment online?

Yes, we offer online appointment scheduling and changes for your convenience. You can do this through our website, or contact us if you need help with booking your appointment.

I’d prefer to always be treated by the same dentist, is that possible?

Yes, that’s possible. We aim to schedule your appointments with the same practitioner as much as possible. If you’re visiting for pain or an emergency, you may be seen by another practitioner so we can help you as quickly as possible.

I’d like to whiten my teeth, do you offer that service?

Absolutely! We use a completely safe whitening method that works gradually but effectively. Feel free to ask your practitioner for more information.

How often should I visit the dentist?

How often you need to visit our practice depends on several factors, such as the health of your gums and your risk of developing cavities. Your dentist, dental hygienist, or prevention assistant will advise you based on your individual needs.

I’m anxious, how do you take that into account?

We aim for open communication, so please feel free to share what makes you feel uneasy. We can agree on a stop signal if that helps. If you prefer, we can explain what we’re going to do beforehand and talk you through each step during the treatment so you know what’s happening. Or, if it’s more comforting, we can simply chat about everyday things!

Will my treatment be covered by health insurance?

That depends on your insurance policy. We’re happy to help you with information about reimbursements, as we can check how you are insured. For major treatments, we always provide a cost estimate in advance.
