Benefits of Choosing a Family Dentist

A family dentist is an opportunity for parents to get their whole family’s dental needs taken care of in one place. Family dentists can provide dental care for children and adults, which is very beneficial for anyone with kids. Here are some benefits of choosing to take your kids to a family dentist:

Convenience - There’s nothing like being able to schedule appointments for the whole family and having them all be at the same location. A family dentist that can provide care for the entire family will save you time and money. Instead of running around taking your kids to a pediatric dentist and then going somewhere else for yourself, you can spend less money on gas going to one place. 

Build a relationship - When you go to a family dentist you have more opportunities to build a strong relationship with them. This will also allow your dentist to learn more about your family’s dental history. Your family’s dental history is very important because it allows your family dentist to be aware of potential dental issues your kids may inherit. The earlier the dental issues are caught the better chance of being able to prevent them.

Less anxiety - A family dentist allows your children to see you getting your teeth cleaned by the same person who will be cleaning their teeth. This allows your child to build a sense of trust with the dentist before their turn, which will help alleviate the fear and anxiety they may feel about the dentist.

Experience with patients of all ages - Family dentists generally have experience working with patients of all ages. This is beneficial for families that bring younger children to our office because it will be a similar experience to bringing their child to a pediatric dentist without the extra stop. Our family dentists will be patient and kind with your kids, just like a pediatric dentist.
