Family
dentists see all ages – from toddlers and children, to teenagers and adults.
Their focus is long-term patient care. And, seeing a family dentist for regular
check-ups offers more security and convenience; the entire family's dental
health is being cared for by someone they can trust.
Long-term Care
Getting
to know your family dentist and establishing a relationship built on trust, is
a significant benefit to all parties. Patients are more likely to confide in
someone they have known for a long time, who has guided them through their
dental care. Such a relationship also permits the dentist to observe their
patients development, get to know problem areas, and address issues
appropriately. A family dentist is concerned with long-term preventative healthcare, and this starts with the doctor's understanding of the family history.
Establishing Good Habits
A dentist for the whole family!
A
family dentist can help parents educate their children on good brushing habits.
Most family dentists today are skilled in communicating with children and
making their visits to the dentist relaxed and positive experiences. The family
dentist is able to monitor the growth of teeth, and can catch problems at an
early stage. Early intervention impacts restorative care for everyone,
particularly as early detection minimizes any subsequent need for extensive
treatment.
A Trusted Relationship
A
family dentist is able to prepare their patients for long-term dental health
with best practices and procedures. Many adult phobias of dental care are a
result of a traumatic or anxiety-ridden childhood experience. Family dentists
aim to relieve patients of their fears by offering a wide range of preventative
treatments, such as fluoride and sealant applications.
Convenience
As
the family becomes familiar with the practice, so the practice becomes familiar
with the family. Many practices, such as DFW Absolute Dental, enjoy customizing
their patients' experiences so as to provide the best in dental care. Patients
get what they need from people they trust, and at a time that is convenient to
them. Treating the whole family helps parents manage routine visits and
accommodate for busy schedules. Greater convenience equals less stress!
