Orthodontics.png

With a new kind of orthodontic treatment it is no longer necessary to wear braces. Does that sound interesting? It gets even better: the aligners are almost invisible and very comfortable.

Aligners

The invisible aligners are used for both esthetic and/or functional results. You will wear them 20-22 hours per day and you only remove them when you eat. Every two weeks you change the aligners and during the treatment people will start noticing your changing smile. The treatment is specially indicated for teenagers and adults. We will still refer children to the orthodontist because for them braces are still the best option.


To book a dental appointment, please call (070) 306 5100 and select the Dental Care Department. For information please email us at ihchdental@ezorg.nl. 


Snoring.png

Snoring? Waking up not feeling like you’ve slept at all? Struggling to stay awake during meetings in the day? These kind of symptoms are common with a condition call Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea is a breathing condition that prevents you getting deep nourishing sleep, so your body is craving it constantly.

Sleep intake
In our Sleep diagnostic department, we will conduct a thorough sleep intake as well as a physical examination of your upper airway structures. We have the means for in-depth sleep diagnostic tests in order to determine the severity of your issue. Once you are diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, our sleep diagnostic team will explain all the various ways in which your condition can be treated.

Treating your sleep apnea can mean feeling years younger, help with losing weight, improving your memory, concentration and motivation and improve your mood substantially. Untreated sleep apnea has many complications including increasing your risk or cardiac disease, cognitive function, diabetes and depression.

To book an appointment with our sleep diagnostic department, please call (070) 306 5100 and select the Polyclinic. For information please email us at ihchpoli@ezorg.nl.

INFORMATION ABOUT VACCINATIONS

The Dutch Government implements the Covid-19 vaccination schedule and strategy, including booster vaccinations.

If you are in the high risk category you’ll likely receive an invitation by letter or email. If you don’t receive an invitation you can still get vaccinated by visiting coronatest.nl/en or call 0800 7070. There are many locations where you can get vaccinated without making an appointment. Go to the prikkenzonderafspraak.nl website to find out where. There is no need to contact your medical specialist or GP. 

If you are staying in the Netherlands temporarily, you may also be eligible for a Covid-19 vaccination. Please follow this link for more information.

*Please note that the IHCH Polyclinic Specialist Care (Medical Specialists) is not a GP Practice and therefore will not be administering Covid-19 vaccines. 

More information on Covid-19 vaccines, including leaflets about testing and FAQ can be found on the following websites:
