Oral health is an extremely important aspect of anyone’s life. If you have kids, you don’t want them to be suffering from the various issues that can come from ignoring your oral health, so you may be thinking of scheduling them with a pediatric dentist. However, family dentistry may be the better option for both you and your kids. This article will explain what a family dentist does and how you and your kids can benefit from one.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Family Dentistry?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Family dentists are dental practitioners that offer a wide array of treatments to people of all ages, meaning both you and your children can use the same dentist. These treatments usually include, but are not limited to, the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• Checkups & Examinations<\/span><\/li>\n
• Cleaning<\/span><\/li>\n
• Fillings<\/span><\/li>\n
• Fluoride Treatments<\/span><\/li>\n
• Sealants<\/span><\/li>\n
• X-Rays<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Advantages of Family Dentistry<\/b><\/h3>\n

  Using a family dentist has various advantages as opposed to having separate dental offices for the parents and the children. Some of these benefits are listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Convenience<\/b><\/h4>\n

  One of the most obvious benefits of using a family dentist is the convenience of only having to go to one office and scheduling appointments for multiple people on the same day. This can save you both time and money, as you won’t need to take extra days off from work for your kids’ appointments or spend the extra gas money driving to different offices for each family member.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Consistent Treatment<\/b><\/h4>\n

  It’s good practice to visit your dentist at least twice a year for checkups. With a family dentist, you and your family are likely to have consistent treatment on each visit, and it will allow you to settle into a routine with that dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Knowledge About Your Family’s Dental History<\/b><\/h4>\n

  Having a lifelong family dentist means that your dentist will have you and your family’s dental history on record. This means your dentist will know the best treatment for any of you or your family’s dental issues, based on the dental history they have collected over the years of treating your family.<\/span><\/p>\n
