Looking for a school dentist in Burgdorf? Our practice participates in the school dental programme. We welcome your child for their annual check-up and answer questions about teeth, dental care and tooth alignment.
We take a look at your child’s dental health together. We explain each step in language suited to their age and leave space for questions. Whether your child feels comfortable or is still unsure about visiting, let us know so we can take this into account.
Your school check-up, step by step
01
Arrange a time
Schools often specify examination days. Contact us to arrange a time on that day. If it does not suit you, we can also agree an individual appointment. Follow the deadline in your school letter and inform the class teacher.
02
A calm examination
We examine the teeth and mouth, then discuss the findings. You can raise questions about crooked teeth or the bite. If needed, we arrange a separate appointment for a detailed orthodontic consultation.
03
Return the confirmation
After the examination, we confirm the check-up. Return the form to the person specified in your school documents: the class teacher in Burgdorf or the school office in Heimiswil. Follow your school’s instructions on where to keep the dental record card.

Appointments, fees and your municipality’s documents
In Burgdorf, the city covers the compulsory check-up under its school dental programme at a participating practice. Additional examinations and treatment are charged separately. For an individually arranged appointment, we clarify the billing conditions with you beforehand.
Neighbouring municipalities may have different arrangements, forms and funding rules. Follow your school’s current letter. Bring it along or tell us which municipality is responsible.
Families from the region can also arrange an individual check-up or consultation with us. We check school programme funding conditions for the relevant municipality. Here are the responsible schools and their parent information.
Burgdorf
The examination day appears on the school’s confirmation form. Parents agree a time with the practice and tell the class teacher. After the check-up, the confirmation goes back to the teacher; the blue dental record card stays with the child or parents.
Heimiswil / Kaltacker
The school collects dental record cards and forwards them to the chosen practice. Follow the start of the appointment period in the current school letter. After the check-up, submit the confirmation to the school office. The card stays with the parents or at the practice.
Kirchberg BE
The school sends an invitation home before the autumn holidays. Parents arrange the annual examination directly with the dentist. Follow the current invitation for the date, confirmation requirements and funding conditions.
Fixed braces, a removable appliance or simply monitoring development: we advise children, teenagers and parents on the appropriate next step. We also provide orthodontic treatment at our practice.
Can we choose a date other than the school’s examination day?
Yes. Call us if the specified day does not suit you and we can agree an individual appointment. Deadlines, any permission for time away from school and funding still depend on your school and municipality.
Is the school check-up free?
In Burgdorf, the city funds the compulsory check-up under its programme at listed participating practices. Additional examinations, treatment and a detailed orthodontic consultation are not automatically included. We clarify the conditions for other municipalities or different appointment arrangements beforehand.
Can my child come if they are new to the practice?
Yes, your child is welcome even if they have previously visited another practice. Tell us when booking that this is a school dental check-up and bring the school documents.
Do we need another practice for braces?
We offer fixed braces with brackets and removable appliances. After an examination, we discuss the appropriate method and whether treatment here or a specialist referral suits your child’s needs.
