Step-by-step plan for oral care provider
Step-by-step plan for implementation of GigaFaaf-to-go!
When an oral care provider (dentist or dental hygienist) works with GigaGaaf! wants to get started and is looking for cooperation with a consultation agency.
-
-
- Discuss your plan with other dental care practices in your region. They may also be interested in this. If they are not interested in receiving young children in the practice, make arrangements about the children who will come to you. This way you prevent competition for patients.
-
- View the “KNMT practice map Dentist and youth doctor will help you on your way”.

This can be done via the website: knmt.nl/praktijkzaken/bijzondere-doelengroups/mondzorg-voor-kinderen/samenwerken-met-jeugdartsen-en-consultatiebureau.
You will then have the telephone number of the main location of Youth Health Care in your region. Contact them and ask for the doctor/nurse who is at the clinic in your area.

- Provide the JGZ with sample letters for referrals. Depending on the form of collaboration, different concepts can be chosen:
– When using Zorgmail or other secure email system:
a. Sample letter A Referral to parent to his or her own dental care provider.
b. Sample letter B1 Referral to dental care provider, call child after 4 weeks.
c. Sample letter B2 Referral to new dental care provider.
d. Sample letter C about referral by dental care provider to parent.
– When using hard copy references
