4 Great Reasons for Choosing Family Dentistry

From specialty dentistry to pediatric dentistry to cosmetic dentistry, there are lots of choices when it comes to choosing a dental provider. If you’re unsure of which direction to go, consider family dentistry.

One great reason for choosing a family dental practice is that you have a single place for every member of your family to go. But there are more reasons than that.

In this blog, the providers at Laguna Vista Dental in Elk Grove, California, give four reasons why choosing family dentistry is often the right choice.

1. Meet all of your family’s needs

If you get your dental care from a family dental practice, that means every member of your household can get dental care at the same place. Whether your child needs to begin dental care or you need a filling, you can get all the care you need under one roof.

This can make it easier to get your family’s dental needs met in a timely manner. You won’t have to take time finding new practices depending on the needs of your family.

2. Get consistent care

If your entire family sees the same providers for their dental care, that means you can count on having a consistent experience. You and your family can get to know the providers, and the providers can get to know you and your family, too. This can be a great advantage, especially if you have children with special needs or disabilities.

Furthermore, it also makes it easier to collect your records if you ever need to move out of the area. It’s a lot easier obtaining your records from one provider than several.

3. Reduce dental anxiety

By seeing the same dental providers, your children will get to know the dentists from a young age. This will help them build trust and a rapport with their dental providers as they progress through childhood.

Furthermore, seeing dentists as important members of their health care team will make them more likely to continue getting treatment as they move into adulthood.

4. Get proactive care

As a family dental practice, we monitor your family’s dental health over time. We can spot potential problems before they develop, which means the treatments can potentially be simpler and less costly.

Furthermore, we take a holistic approach to family dental care. This means we view your family’s dental care overall. For example, if we see issues develop in one family member, we can keep an eye out for similar issues in other family members. In short, we care for every aspect of your family’s dental health.
