Coordinating your family’s dental appointments for different offices is no easy task. It’s easy to confuse dates and times or even show up at the wrong office! You don’t have to drive all over town when you have a family dentist. You can get all your dental needs under one roof. Here are a few more points to help you decide if family dentistry is the best option for you!
Convenience in Scheduling and Services
Like the name suggests, family dentists are meant to care for your entire family! There is no need to call separate offices for each family member. A family dentist can streamline your appointments in one location, making scheduling a breeze without worrying about double-booking yourself.
Not everyone requires the same treatment plan, so family dentists have to offer a wide range of dental services. They provide routine checkups and more specialized treatments like dental implants. They become a one-stop shop for all your family dental needs!
Easier to Build Trust & Relationships
Dental anxiety doesn’t only affect kids. You might even experience it yourself, but coming as a family can sometimes help you or your loved ones calm down.
If your child has dental anxiety, you can be a role model. Children who don’t overcome their dental anxiety may push their appointments back in the future. Setting the example of never missing an appointment can encourage your child to establish strong, lifelong dental habits.
When your child continues to see the same dentist, they’ll be able to build a more trusting relationship with them. They’ll learn that the dentist isn’t scary and feel more comfortable going to their appointments, even when dealing with problems like cavities. Building that trust for the whole family can help ensure everyone gets the care they need.
Your Family’s Dental History All in One Place
Another perk of choosing family dentistry is the dentist’s understanding of your family’s dental history. If everyone is getting cared for in the same practice, the dentist can see the dental health patterns within your family. They can see genetic predispositions to conditions like cavities, gum disease, or misaligned teeth. For instance, if you suffer from orthodontic issues, the dentist can monitor your child’s teeth for those signs. The dentist can create more personalized treatment plans as they have all the information they need.
Family dentists are a great option to streamline your family’s oral healthcare. They are here to ensure each family member has a happy and beautiful smile!
