Why Choose a Family Dentist?

A family dentist is a dental professional that treats patients of all ages. This professional can treat everyone from children to senior citizens. Family dentists usually focus on preventive and restorative care. They place emphasis on educating patients about proper oral hygiene.

Visiting a family dentist is important because good oral health benefits everyone. It also includes:

Convenience

Typically, family dentists see patients of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. This makes scheduling appointments for the entire family simple. Rather than making several different appointments, the entire family can visit one dentist. This also makes it easy to schedule preventative appointments for the entire family. Also, if one person in the family is in need of a dentist, the entire family can be seen.

Better Care

Going to a family dentist means your entire family can work with the same dentist. This makes it easy to schedule appointments and keep track of everyone’s oral health needs. It also means you can get to know Dr. Hughen and feel comfortable asking questions.

Preventative Care

Family dentists are a great choice for preventative care. Your entire family can schedule appointments for routine cleanings, exams, and treatments, all of which can help prevent more serious dental issues from occurring.

Same Dentist For Multiple Family Members

When it comes to your family, you want a provider who is familiar with everyone’s dental history. If you have kids, you want a dentist who treats their dental needs, as well as manages their orthodontic care. You also want a provider who can monitor the development of their adult teeth, ensuring that they stay cavity-free.

Easier Scheduling

You can schedule multiple family members’ appointments back-to-back and save time.

Family dentists have flexible scheduling. They can accommodate emergency appointments for family members. They hold evening and weekend hours, so families can find time to schedule dental visits.

Better Education

When your child sees the same dentist year after year, the dentist has the chance to learn your child’s specific dental history. Did you know that this information may alert the dentist to potential complications that might arise in the future? For example, if the dentist sees that your child almost always has cavities, the dentist might recommend more frequent dental cleaning appointments as well as fluoride treatments.

More Time Saving

When you choose a family dentist, you could save a lot of time, since your family can be treated in one appointment.

You can schedule appointments for everyone at the same time, which will save time. You won’t have to worry about multiple appointments.
