Who is a family dentist and what does family dental care mean? Family dentistry is a comprehensive dental care that involves treating patients of all ages and phases of life. From infant to elderly, every dental issue will be treated, from its preventive (where we try to prevent dental problems from occurring) to a restorative/rehabilitative (where we repair and correct the ailment) aspect.
Why choose a family dentist?
-
Convenience
A family dentist cares for all members of your family. We understand your busy schedules and urgent needs. With a family dentist, you do not have to stand in long waiting lines or keep rescheduling appointments due to the dentist's hectic schedules. It is all about building and maintaining the relationship. -
Stable environment
Usually kids, and even adults at times can get wary of dentists. Dental fear is real and validated. In such cases going to a new dentist every time and trying to build that trust from scratch might be mentally taxing. Your kids thrive in a familiar environment. -
Past dental history
If you choose a family dentist, all your dental records are in one place. Your previous treatments, how the treatment was performed, which treatment was suitable for you and any additional care needed are known to the dentist. We can give you a treatment experience customised based on your needs. -
Genetic predispositions
As your dentist treating the elders in your family, we can see a few patterns and ailments which can be transferred to your kids. By recognizing these early, we can give a preventive treatment plan. -
Preventive care
Early recognition and prevention of dental issues can save you a lot of money and time. Family dentists have special preventive treatments for kids and adults too, based on the patterns in your family. -
Proper follow ups and care
"Treat once and forget" this is never the policy with a family dentist. Since we are responsible for your case from the beginning to end, we will also be responsible to follow you up and provide the required care for your case. -
Range and variety of treatments
As we build a trusting and healthy relationship with you, we know that some treatments might suit you best and some might not. Instead of showing you the generic default options, we can widen the treatment plan and include more options based on your condition. -
Patient education
A proper dental consultation solves half of the problem. This is only possible when the dentist provides their undivided attention to each patient and takes enough time to not just preach, but see to it that the patient understands the issue in depth and takes the necessary practices required. -
Easy emergency care
No one can predict an emergency. And yes dental emergencies can be the most painful. A family dentist knows you and knows how best to solve the emergency without making you wait till the next available appointment.
There is a huge difference between the care a family dentist and a regular dentist can provide. It is equal parts trust as it is experience. Hence choose your family dentist wisely. Book your first consultation now.
