Family Dentist vs. Pediatric Dentist

A family dentist is a valuable oral health care practitioner. Once you have selected a family dentist, he or she may remain your family dentist throughout your entire life unless your dental needs change. Sometimes a specialist maybe needed for certain treatments, but for the most part, your family dentist will be the practitioner whom you see the most.

A pediatric dentist only deals with children. Therefore if you select a pediatric dentist for your child to see, you and your older children will need to see a separate oral health care professional. This can be time consuming, inconvenient and make it difficult to keep records straight. If your entire family is seeing one dentist, it simplifies all of your oral health care.  

Family Dentist Treatments

Family dentists cover a wide range of preventative treatments and diagnostics. Some of these include:

• Dental exams
• Routine cleanings
• Fillings
• Dental crowns
• Bridgework
