Family Dentist: The Advantages of Visiting Our Office

Family Dental Visit:

A family dentist visit is a great way for the family to get their teeth healthy together. While we definitely understand that coming in to see the family dentist is certainly not the most fun thing you can do as a family, it is one of the more important things you should do as a family. The family dentist is a place where you can get your teeth cleaned, have a routine examination, get minor or major issues taken care of, and educate your children about how oral health works. There are many distinct advantages to having a family dentist, someone who sees all the members of the family from your perspective and also from ours.

From a dentist’s perspective, the most important benefit to seeing your entire family comes from the sense of family unity we are able to use to improve the trust you have in your dentist. The best way to explain this is to look at it from the perspective of a child. When coming to the dentist, the child will be in an unfamiliar surroundings, with people wearing strange clothes, equipment that makes funny sounds, and a host of other reasons that can cause them to be apprehensive. On the other hand, when a child comes in with a member of the family who is also receiving dental work at that office, they learn there is nothing to fear. Nothing drives fear away better than watching the dentist help Mom or Dad clean their teeth, take x-rays, or other procedures. In cases like this, the natural fear gives way to a much more powerful driver in children: curiosity. Ironically, the same is also true for parents. Children whose parents who bring them in regularly, develop a sense of trust and comfort watching the family dentist take care of their children with empathy and gentleness.

Convenience another important advantages of seeing a family dentist. Families are extremely busy these days. And most people do not want to do run around town to get different treatments at different offices. In addition, families do not want to have to go in with increased frequency because each member has different needs. A family dentist can help you solve both of these convenience issues. For one, we have the ability to streamline your bookings. We know various family members will have different needs, and we have a very good idea of how long each will take. In order to maximize the time you spend in the dentist office, we will work with you to stagger appointments so you come in less frequently, while still getting all the treatments your family needs. Another way to save time and improve convenience is to have all the services you need under one roof. We offer everything your family could need from x-rays to extractions, from Invisalign to dentures, from cleaning to fillings all in one place, so you never have to seek a treatment at another provider.

Make sure to schedule an appointment for you and your entire family so you can all have happy, healthy smiles.
