Supplementary dental insurance for children

With additional dental insurance for children, parents no longer have to pay for certain treatments at the dentist or orthodontist. Such insurance makes sense because almost every second child has a misaligned tooth.

For this reason, orthodontic treatments are among the most needed health services for children and adolescents. If the malposition is particularly serious, the statutory health insurance companies pay for such an intervention. The orthodontist determines the severity using the orthodontic indication group.

A dental insurance for the whole family

If you are looking for family insurance for treatments at the dentist, you will quickly find that there are no special offers for it. The reason for this is: for private health insurance, each insured person poses their own risk and the contribution is always calculated per person. In contrast to the statutory health insurance, there is unfortunately no free co-insurance for children or partners with dental supplementary insurance.

This is even an advantage for you, because the differences in the necessary treatments in adults and children are very large. Personal dental insurance ensures that everyone only pays for the services they use. For example, in children, orthodontic treatments can leave large holes in the mothers and fathers’ household budgets. In contrast, in adults, this type of care is very rarely necessary. For the parents, tooth-preserving measures are primarily necessary, such as services for professional tooth cleaning, dental treatment and high-quality dentures. Since there are only a few dental insurance policies that offer excellent benefits for both children and adults, we recommend that you split the search.

Supplementary dental insurance for missing teeth, test 2020

Supplementary dental insurance for missing teeth: tariffs in comparison & test

Loss of a tooth is not uncommon even in younger years. Teeth are often lost due to tooth decay, tooth root inflammation, accidents or gum disease. However, a missing tooth can become an obstacle when looking for private dental insurance, because some insurers sometimes ask for missing teeth in the insurance application and may refuse prospective customers or at least exclude the affected teeth from the benefit. Nevertheless, additional dental insurance can also be taken out for existing tooth gaps. More and more tariffs provide for the possibility of co-insurance for missing teeth that have not yet been replaced. However, there are a few points to consider when taking out dental insurance for missing teeth.

Supplementary dental insurance for children

Which building blocks are important?

Good dental insurance for children covers a large part of the cost of treatment at Orthodontists – even with slight misalignments. The insurance should also cover dental treatments and professional tooth cleaning (prophylaxis) come up.

Teeth change in children – from milk teeth to permanent teeth

The change of teeth usually takes place between the ages of 6 and 12. During this time, the bit is made up of still existing milk teeth and new permanent teeth. Between the ages of 16 and 24, the wisdom teeth break through the gums. In this article we would like to explain how this change takes place and which teeth break through and when.

Why is there a tooth change?

The change of teeth tries to adjust the relationship between jaw size and tooth size as well as the number of teeth during a person’s strongest growth phase. As the jaw changes during this growth phase, the balanced relationship is lost, which is thus restored. The milk teeth fall out in different phases of the tooth change and the new teeth appear.

Dental care for children: healthy teeth right from the start

As soon as the milk teeth appear, the right nutrition and dental care can create the basis for healthy teeth. DAK-Gesundheit pays the costs for the check-ups in children.

DAK-Gesundheit pays the prevention costs?

The cost of preventive check-ups at the dentist for infants and toddlers is borne by your DAK health.

The milk teeth are fully developed in children at the age of two, but the first tooth in the mouth (at around six months) is already susceptible to tooth decay. Dental prophylaxis is therefore a must for children as soon as the first tooth is visible in the oral cavity. Because: If damage to the milk teeth occurs, this often has ramifications for the permanent teeth. So take the annual checkups for the little ones.

Tooth sealing: When does it make sense??

Tooth enamel can develop small hairline cracks even with healthy teeth. These small cracks can be so narrow that they cannot be cleaned with the toothbrush, they are ideal places for tooth-damaging caries bacteria. These cracks on the molars occur particularly frequently, since these are particularly stressed by the strong forces when chewing the food.

To prevent the occlusal surfaces from being permanently damaged by caries, the dentist can protect the surfaces with a tooth seal. This caries prophylaxis is covered by the health insurance for children and adolescents up to the age of 18, provided that the teeth are sealed on one or more of the large molars. For milk or small molars and adults, the costs must be borne by the patient privately. Tooth sealing costs between 15 and 25 euros per tooth.

Tooth sealing in children - useful or not?

Tooth sealing in children – useful or not?

Teeth are important and yet not immune to diseases that damage the tooth structure and can lead to tooth loss. If you have children and take regular dental examinations at your dentist, you will have already heard of the possibility of sealing teeth. It is said that tooth sealing supports the preservation of teeth and should minimize the risk of caries. Is that really the case? Is tooth sealing worthwhile for your child? At what age does the procedure come into question and can milk teeth already be sealed? We’ll deal with these questions in this article.

Tooth sealing costs

The essentials in brief:

»A tooth seal enables small depressions to be sealed on the surface of a tooth (fissures).

»The measure has proven to be useful on broken molars, as they serve as a breeding ground for bacteria.

»For children and adolescents, the statutory health insurance company pays the costs of a tooth seal in full.

»Adult patients often pay for the measure independently, which can cost 40 euros per tooth.

»If the patient has supplementary dental insurance, the patient’s own contribution is reduced because the insurance usually reimburses 70 to 80 percent of the costs.
