Frequently Asked Questions
Do you treat children under PADICAN?
Yes. We treat children aged 6 to 14 (inclusive) under PADICAN, the children's dental programme of the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS). Everything the programme includes is free for the family.
What does PADICAN cover?
Among other things, the yearly check-up, sealants, cleaning and fillings of permanent teeth. It does not cover orthodontics or replacing a lost tooth: for those we give you a separate quote.
How do I enrol my child in PADICAN?
Book an appointment and say it is for PADICAN. A parent or guardian signs the enrolment at the clinic with the child's health card. Enrolment is renewed every year so the programme covers the treatment.
At what age should my child see a dentist?
We recommend the first visit at age 1.
How do I prepare my child?
By speaking positively. Our team is specialized in pediatrics.
Do you treat baby teeth?
Yes, they're essential for proper oral development.
