What Services Can a Family Dentist Provide?
Your family has different oral health care needs at every stage of life. And a family dentist can accommodate all of them – for both kids and adults. Here are some of the age-specific services a family dentist can provide:
Kid-Friendly Dental Care
In addition to needing procedures such as sealants, fluoride treatments, and athletic guards, kids also need extra gentle and patient care. A family dentist can provide all the services they need in a fun atmosphere that sets them up for getting fear-free dentistry for life.
Dental Care For Adults
Whether you need a basic checkup and cleaning or something more involved like porcelain veneers, a family dentist has you covered:
- Checkups and cleanings with an oral cancer screening at every visit
- Periodontal therapy to treat gum disease
- Cosmetic dentistry such as whitening, cosmetic bonding, and veneers

- TMJ/TMD therapy
- Sleep apnea treatment

What Should You Look For In a Family Dentist?
First, always start by reading online reviews. If an office has a lot of 5-star reviews, that tells you something!
Also, prior to scheduling your first visit, take a little time to look at a dentist’s website. Here are some things to look for to make sure you get the right fit for your family:
- Convenience – From a practical standpoint, make sure the office is reasonably well located and that they’ll help you navigate your insurance (if you can’t find this information, you can always give them a quick call).
- Modern Technology – When a dental office has invested in modern equipment and technology such as intraoral cameras and digital X-rays, you’ll get faster, more comfortable and more effective treatment.
- Advanced Training – Make sure that a dentist has pursued advanced education in specialty areas such as TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, and cosmetic dentistry.
In today’s busy world, it’s well worth it to simplify things when you can – without sacrificing high-quality dental care. Seeing a family dentist is one great way to do that!
