Dr. Karine Margairaz 

Profile of a healthcare professional

• Pediatric dentistry (pedodontics)
• Children's first dental check-up, follow-up and dental hygiene
• Prevention, advice and support for families
• Care for children with special needs

Pediatric dentistry is a discipline dedicated to the oral health of toddlers, children and adolescents. It aims to prevent the onset of early tooth decay, ensure the proper development of the dentition, and establish a healthy, trusting relationship between the child, parents and caregiver at an early stage.

My approach focuses on the whole child.

It's based on listening, respect for each child's rhythm and close communication with parents. Particular attention is paid to the first consultation, a key stage in ensuring an optimal and pleasant course of treatment.

I offer care tailored to each child's needs and cooperation, using specific communication techniques.

Consultations include

• first visits and dental check-ups
• prevention and personalized advice for parents, hygiene care for children
• treatment and, above all, prevention of children's cavities
• monitoring growth and development
• support for children with a fear of the dentist
