When my son came to Germany, he was just 10 years old, so we took him to the dentist, because he had a pit and fissure seal when he was 6 years old in China, but this time he found that the pit and fissure seal in China had fallen off, while the pit and fissure seal in Germany was free, so he had to see a dentist twice a year, otherwise the dental caries insurance company refused to pay compensation. Yes, the insurance company would rather you spend a little money on daily medical care than go to them to spend money then.

When German children are 6 years old, that is, when their first 6-year-old teeth come out, the dentist will make pit and fissure sealing for them. Six-year-old tooth, the first permanent molar, maintains chewing function, erupts around six years old and will not be replaced for life. In addition, pit and fissure sealing is not permanent. According to the doctor's technical level, it can last for 5- 10 years. It needs to be inspected once every six months, and the materials may gradually fall off.

Every time it's almost time, the dentist will write you an email asking for an appointment. After going, the nurse will come to check the growth and protection of teeth. If a problem is found, a dentist will be asked to diagnose it. If you have dental caries, you have to make a further appointment to see it. Nurses will also teach children how to brush their teeth correctly, mark the dirty degree of their teeth with coloring agent, and show them to make them have a very intuitive impression of Bluetooth, and they will try to brush their teeth in the future. Children are also required to wash their teeth once or twice a year, that is, deep cleaning. After cleaning, they will also make pit and fissure sealing for the back permanent teeth to protect the teeth as much as possible. Finally, I will prescribe a tooth protectant, just like a gel, which is used once a week. All this (except tooth washing) is free. I also prescribe toothpaste for my children when I go for the first time.

And the clinic is warm, not white walls, but warm or light green, reducing children's fears. When I was in Wuxi, I took my son to the dentist, and I already found a familiar doctor, but the smell and the serious white inside made him so nervous that my husband and I couldn't hold him down and have an operation at all. Every visit to the dentist is a farce.

In Germany, nurses and doctors will chat with him first to reduce his guard, and the technique is extremely slight, and the action is very stable and accurate. He refused at all. Maybe a beautiful nurse sister will reassure him? Gradually, he fell in love with the dentist, and every time it was time, he couldn't wait to ask for an appointment. He also told us that it is good to be a dentist when he grows up, and the working environment is very good.

I found that all Germans have white and well-maintained teeth. The reason may be that universal health insurance makes dental care free, and if you have extra insurance, you can reimburse your annual dental cleaning (up to 65,438+000 euros, usually about 85 euros each time). Finally, if you want to have dentures after tooth extraction, the basic insurance is guaranteed, but if you want to have dental implants, it is generally 2000 euros, and you can only afford it if you buy additional insurance. Germany's dental implant technology is second to none in the world. Many Swedish and American systems in China use 3D models and final implants made by German dental laboratories.

So every time I go to the dentist, I will take care of my son and protect his teeth, which saves hundreds of thousands!
