What Is Family Dentistry?
A family dentist is a dental practitioner who treats patients of all ages, from kids to adults. They offer a wide array of treatments, such as dental checkups, cleaning, examinations, fillings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, among others. Your family deserves a professional family dentist who’ll not only maintain but improve your oral health.

We understand that many people might suffer from dental anxiety and might be afraid of treatments and procedures. Our team of experienced and qualified dental experts will make sure you overcome your fears and will walk through every procedure beforehand.
Lifelong family dentistry can be beneficial to your family as you’ll see in the list below.
To Eliminate Dental Anxiety
Dental phobia and anxiety is a serious issue that even adults combat. Both dental phobia and dental anxiety can result in delaying or avoidance of dental treatment. If one or more of your family members have any of these conditions, it helps to have your dental checkups together as a family.
Children, especially, develop dental anxiety at an early age, and to help them overcome it, having a family dentist helps. When your children see that you are also going for a checkup or treatment, they gain confidence and get more comfortable with the experience. Children mimic the actions and sentiments of their parents. Showing them that visiting a dentist regularly is essential, you’ll create a lasting impression. The best thing about going to a family dentist together is that once they overcome their fear at an early age, they’ll be comfortable with dentists for the rest of their lives. Regular dental checkups are imperative for amazing oral health, and if they are not afraid, they’ll never miss their appointments.
Having a Family Dentist Is Convenient
The convenience of having a family dentist for the whole household cannot be ignored. You simplify your life by making one appointment for several people or the whole family. You don’t have to leave work on different days to go for your appointment, take your kids to the pediatric dentist, and your teenagers elsewhere.
Family Dentists Know Your Family Dental History
One of the most significant advantages of lifelong family dentistry is the fact that they’ll know your family’s dental history. If you had past dental diseases, surgeries, allergies, or sensitivities, they’ll have all that on record. This means that they’ll know the suitable treatments based on that information.
A proactive family dentist will notice new symptoms since your last checkup and take action. Some issues may also be genetic, and it helps to have the same dentist for the whole family. If, for instance, they have treated you with orthodontic issues, they’ll be vigilant when treating your children.
Having a Family Dentist Means a Lasting Relationship
There are numerous reasons why trust is vital between you and your dentist. When there’s trust, it’s easy to communicate honestly and openly, leaving no information to yourself. When the dentist has all the information, they diagnose symptoms accurately and you and your family members will get the right treatment. It’s also easier to share your fears with a dentist you trust, and they’ll do everything to ease the treatment process for you.
Regular and Consistent Services
To maintain you and your family members’ oral health, you need to visit your family dentist at least twice a year for checkups and cleaning. Having a family dentist means that you’ll be confident about visiting and hence never miss an appointment. By having the same dentist attend to your needs every time, you have consistent treatments. A family dentist will provide your family with consistent services every time you visit.
Preventative Dentistry
Many people often neglect proper dental care, which leads to painful and complicated procedures. A lot of decay and gum infections are undetected and in order to find it and give the proper treatment, you’ll have to do regular dental check-ups. Not trying to scare you, but dental issues if left undetected can even lead to heart disease and stroke.
