1. What is family dentistry?

Family dentistry is a branch of dental care that focuses on providing comprehensive dental services to patients of all ages. It includes preventive, restorative, and cosmetic treatments tailored to meet the needs of each family member, regardless of age. Family dentists are trained to address a wide range of dental issues and to adapt their approach based on the patient’s age and specific dental needs.

3. At what age should my child start seeing a family dentist?

It’s recommended that children begin seeing a family dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth eruption. Early dental visits help establish good oral hygiene habits and allow for monitoring of your child’s dental development. Our pediatric dental team at The BLVD Dentist will ensure that your child receives the appropriate care for their age and developmental stage.

4. How often should our family visit the dentist?

For optimal oral health, it’s generally recommended that each family member visit twice per year (every six months) for check-ups and cleanings. However, some individuals may need to visit more based on their needs. Regular visits help prevent dental issues and ensure that any problems are addressed promptly.
