Family Dentistry Q & A

What is family dentistry?

Family dentistry addresses dental care during every stage of your life. From regular teeth cleanings to wisdom teeth removal, your dentist advises you in oral hygiene and the overall health of your teeth, whether you’re a patient who has baby teeth or dentures.

What are my family dentistry treatment options?

Family dentistry involves the same services as general dentists. However, family dentists specialize in dental procedures for all ages. Services available include:

  • Regular exams and teeth cleanings
  • Digital X-rays and radiography
  • White cavity fillings
  • Veneers
  • Dentures
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Tooth extractions
  • Dental implants
  • Teeth whitening
  • Emergency dentistry

Family dentists focus on educating patients of all ages on teeth-cleaning practices and good oral hygiene habits. From proper brushing techniques for a toddler to cleaning dentures for an elderly patient, your dentist ensures everyone in the family maintains good oral care outside the office.

What are the benefits of family dentistry?

Family dentistry can care for all of your family’s dental needs in one convenient location rather than visiting multiple dentists. Your dental provider offers a variety of services, all under one roof.

Martindale Family Dentistry understands the stress of balancing various after-school activities. They can work with you to figure out an appointment schedule that’s best for you and your family.

Your dentist focuses on ensuring a positive dental experience for your entire family. He understands the unique needs of young children, as well as anxiety that can accompany dental visits. He offers oral sedation and nitrous oxide to put patients of all ages at ease.

Establishing a reliable family dentist gives your family the stability of a long-term relationship with their dental team. Family dental providers can care for your children’s teeth as they grow into their teen years and mature into adulthood. 

With the Martindale Family Dentistry team, your children can view bi-annual checkups as regular events, ultimately promoting the likelihood of a lifetime of healthy oral habits.
