Picking a Family Dentist

When you're looking for a dentist, you have several choices, including which type of dentist you want. Here are some of the benefits of picking a family dentist to meet your oral care needs:


•Oral Care for all Ages

A family dentist knows how to provide care for multiple generations. From your toddler to Grandma, everyone in your family can get regular cleanings and exams from the same office. This will help you teach your kids about the importance of good oral practices, because they'll see how you handle your visits to the dentist and know that proper dental health is important.
•Convenient Visits

You'll be able to save time and money by having the same dentist treat the whole family. Instead of taking time off from work and driving to your dentist, then repeating the process a different day for your kids, you only have to leave work once and take everyone to the same place. Think about the gas you'll save by only having one office to drive to!
•Lifelong Dentistry

When you choose a family dentist, your children won't have to find a new practitioner when they become adults. If you choose a pediatric dentist for your kids, as soon as they reach the cut-off age, they'll have to become comfortable with a new dentist. Yet with a family dentist, all of your child's dental records will stay in one place, and the quality and continuity of care won't be compromised.
•Personal Relationships

By spending time in the dentist's office as a family, you'll develop a personal relationship with the doctors and office staff. This will give you the confidence to ask about any oral health care concerns you have, and will help you get the best care possible. You'll also find it easier to understand what your dentist is telling you, because you'll know more about his or her personality from prior appointments and cleanings.
