Family Dentistry

Family dentistry focuses on taking care of your oral health during every stage of life. Adults, children, and teens have different dental needs. As family dentists at Kennedy Heights Dental Centre, we are experienced at delivering comprehensive oral care to every family member regardless of age or stage in life.

What Is A Family Dentist?

A family dentist is a doctor who provides comprehensive dental care for your entire family. This is someone who provides a range of treatments and procedures, from cleanings and x-rays to fillings and crowns. But more than this, a family dentist is someone that you trust to provide care for you and your loved ones. They get to know you and members of your family as patients, and they gain your trust and confidence over time. This is what makes you and your family feel comfortable in their care.

Importance Of Good Oral Health

Maintaining good oral health is critical for your overall health and life. As family dental care providers, we extend dental services designed to keep your teeth healthy so your facial structure is maintained and you have appropriate oral functions. Your imperfect teeth also affect your smile, and a radiant smile builds self-confidence. In addition, the mouth serves as a window to view the overall health of your body. People who care for their oral cavity are usually more careful about their overall health and well-being.

The mouth breeds lots of bacteria which is normal. Efficient oral health habits like brushing and flossing help keep harmful bacteria under control. When there are inadequate oral hygiene habits, problems can develop. Bacteria combine with sugar present in foods and form acids. These acids can create havoc leading to tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. When gum disease is left untreated, infections can spread throughout the body, causing various chronic health problems. Regular exams for all family members can help prevent oral problems and be addressed quickly before they cause further issues. Hence regular dental care can be vital for one’s overall health.

Benefits Of Having A Family Dentist

A family dentist can help your family members maintain proper oral and overall health. Regular examinations, checkups, and cleanings help treat harmful bacteria and remove tartar and plaque deposits. These preventive measures can help avoid future complications. Each family member has unique dental needs, and we can treat each person according to their individual needs and preferences. Taking all your family members to a single dental provider can save you a lot of time and trouble. Your family dentist sees patients of all ages, which means your children do not have to change dentists as they get older.

Here are several benefits of having a family dentist to care for your family’s smiles:

Easier Care Scheduling – Instead of having to schedule multiple appointments with different dentists, the entire family can be seen by one dentist at the same time.
Familiarity and Comfort – Everyone knows their own dentist and can feel more comfortable with them compared to someone new.
Cost Savings – Having one dentist for the whole family means less money spent on separate expenses.
Education – When family members see the same dentist over time, they can learn which treatments are necessary and why they’re beneficial, especially for children. This can help encourage healthy oral hygiene habits in your household.
Convenience – When you have only one dentist to see, you don’t have to spend time calling around to different offices or driving from place to place. Instead, you can focus on the health of your loved ones’ smiles and have peace of mind that you’re all being seen by a professional with the experience you need.
Timeliness – With regular visits to the dentist, potential problems can be caught early, saving you and your family time and money in the long run.

Preventative Procedures – Dental checkups and cleanings are important for all ages to keep teeth healthy and strong. By seeing the whole family at one time, these preventative procedures can be done quickly and efficiently for everyone at once.
