What Is Family General Dentistry?
Family dentistry refers to dental care for patients of all ages. Family dental practices provide services for young children through older adults all in one office. This sets them apart from pediatric dental practices and those that only see adults.
General dentistry describes standard dental procedures provided by a dental practice. The goal of general dentistry is to take the necessary steps to maintain the health of your teeth so they can stay in place in your mouth.
Benefits of Family General Dentistry
There are many benefits to choosing a family dental practice:
- Improve overall health and wellness. Oral health is a good indicator of your overall health and wellness. Numerous studies have shown that tooth decay and gum disease are linked to heart disease and diabetes.
- Prevent tooth decay. The main purpose of general dentistry is to maintain the health of your teeth. Many general dentistry services prevent tooth decay so that your teeth remain healthy and in place in your mouth.
- Convenient scheduling and simple insurance filing. You can schedule the whole family for routine appointments at the same time and make one trip twice a year and you’ll only need to file your family’s dental insurance once. It will also be easier to make updates if insurance coverage changes.
- Save money. General dentistry saves you money by preventing the need for more complex dental procedures.
- Parents can set an example for their children. At a family dental practice parents can be positive examples for their children. Allowing your kids to see you receive dental care can help them feel more comfortable and understand the importance.
- Create a lifelong dental home. When children begin dental care at a family dental practice, they never age out so they do not have to switch from a pediatric to a general dentist later on.
