Benefits of Selecting a Family Dentist

If you’re a parent with young kids, then you know how frantic and busy life can be. Unfortunately, just because life can get hectic doesn’t mean much-needed medical treatments like dental cleanings and checkups can be put off.

The great thing about having a family dentist is that you build a relationship with them and have a go-to for emergencies. Having the whole family be treated by the same dentist can make it easier to spot hereditary dental issues, book appointments quickly and conveniently, and receive a variety of dental services.

 

Schedule Appointments for the Whole Family

When you have a consistent dental practice and dentist that you go to for the entire family, it makes scheduling appointments a breeze. Considering you should visit your dentist every 6 months to prevent the formation of cavities and tooth decay, being able to do this with a quick phone call makes life a whole lot easier.

Family dentists will have an established record of your whole family’s dental history when they last came for a checkup, and certain dental conditions to watch out for. At family practices, our pediatric dentists receive additional training to treat and diagnose dental problems in children.

 

Identify Hereditary Dental Problems

A family dentist will get to know your entire family very well. An advantage of parents being treated by the same dentist as their children is that it allows for better preventative care and more precautions regarding hereditary dental problems. 

When parents present with dental problems like tooth decay or gum disease, your dentist can make a note that these issues should be closely watched out for in your little ones. This saves your child time, pain, and saves you money in the long run.

 

Fast & Convenient Appointments

If you’re always rushed for time, then you could benefit greatly from the convenience and flexibility that a family dentist offers. Schedule the whole family for back-to-back appointments or get treated at the same time, receive prompt treatment in a dental emergency, and receive a broad range of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry services.

 

Build a Useful Relationship with Your Dentist

Having a family dentist ensures that you and your family will build a close and trusting relationship together. This makes things easier for all parties involved, because this reduces stress and anxiety in children in anticipation of dental visits, making the dentist’s job easier by allowing them to get more done more efficiently.

By establishing a close relationship with your family dentist, you can also count on them to be there for you when you need an emergency visit or need to get booked in at a certain time, at the last minute. A dentist who is familiar with you is better equipped to accommodate you and your needs.
