The most convenient way to book an appointment for your child’s dental examination in Helsinki is online. The parents/guardians of children and young people scheduled for examination this year will receive a Maisa message, after which they can book an appointment. Regular dental examinations are carried out at the ages of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 14 and 17.
If the parents do not use Maisa, they will be reminded by letter to book an appointment. You can also book an appointment by calling the dental customer service centre when you have received an invitation to book an appointment.
Invitations to make an appointment will be sent to parents/guardians based on the child’s month of birth starting from April. Some of the parents will receive the message after the summer.
Children under school age
You can book an appointment in the Maisa service as soon as you have received an invitation to do so. The appointment can be made within 6 months after the child’s birthday. As regards children under school age, those born in 2017, 2019 and 2021 will be invited for a dental examination this year. Appointments for 1-year-olds are mainly carried out remotely.
Schoolchildren and those who have completed comprehensive school
For schoolchildren, the appointment can be booked in Maisa according to the age of the child or young person. You can book an appointment when you have received an invitation. Book the appointment within six months after the child’s birthday. This year, schoolchildren and students born in 2005, 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2015 will be invited to book an appointment.
“It is great that the pandemic situation is improving and we can again offer regular dental examinations for children and young people in Helsinki more extensively,” says Sebastian Kaste, Director of Oral Health Care Services at the City of Helsinki.
“I recommend booking an appointment in the Maisa service, where you can do it conveniently.”
