Dental Health Care Services for Children Under School Age
On this page, you can learn more about dental health care services for children aged 0-6.
Families Expecting a Child
Families expecting a child have the opportunity to a free oral health counselling visit, arranged by the clinic. Ways to promote and maintain oral and dental health will be discussed during the visit. Pregnancy is a good time to get information about maintaining the health of the future child. Good oral and dental self-care protects the oral and dental health of the child and the parents. The visit does not include an individual oral check-up, which is a paid service. Oral and dental care is subject to a fee.
A dental hygienist will also talk about oral health during family coaching sessions for expectant families.
Children Under School Age
Periodic examinations for children under school age are at 1, 3 and 5 years of age.
Dental health care offers the option of a remote appointment for children’s 1-year check-up. The main purpose of the visit is to provide information and advice on oral and dental care. This can be done conveniently, for example, from the couch at home via a mobile phone, laptop, or tablet.
You can find more information about the video consultation here: Video consultation (in Finnish and Swedish).
Call us when you want to make an appointment with a dentist, dental nurse or oral hygienist or for information about our services.
Open Monday–Thursday 07:30–16:00, Fridays 07:30–15.00.
An appointment can be booked two weeks before the child’s month of birth or two weeks after the month of birth, for a total of two months. Guardians can book periodic dental care check-ups for children under school age online with the guardian’s bank ID or mobile certificate.
If the appointment booking is not successful in the electronic service, make the appointment for dental care by telephone instead.
