About Fatma Caliskan

A children's dentist with a heart for the youngest

Fatma Caliskan graduated as a dentist in 2009 and then fully specialised in paediatric dentistry. She obtained a PhD on minimally invasive and preventive treatments, with a focus on fissure sealants: a thin protective layer over the grooves of molars that helps prevent cavities. Prevention is always her starting point, so a child's teeth stay healthy with as few interventions as possible.

Over more than ten years she built up experience with both healthy and vulnerable children, in general practice and under general anaesthesia in hospital. That broad background helps her stay calm and careful, even with children who need a lot of care or who are very tense.

What makes her approach special is her additional training in child psychology and play therapy. She guides anxious children step by step, at a pace that suits the child. Through play, explanation and patience, the dentist turns from a scary place into a familiar one. This is how children learn that a check-up does not have to be frightening at all.

Fatma has been working in the Netherlands for three years and treats both children and adults here. At Tandarts West in Rotterdam West you can visit her with your child in a warm practice with its own children's waiting area, without a waiting list and in your own language.
