Counter question: why should you have to coordinate appointments between your dental office, your parent’s, and your child’s? The main benefit of a family practice is being able to take all of your family members to one singular office for their dental needs. But there are other advantages, too! Keep reading to find out what they are.
Streamlined Dental Records
You could reach out to several different dentists to wrangle together some semblance of an oral health binder, or you could enjoy the simplicity of having all your records under one roof. This makes it easier for your family dentist to determine which hereditary conditions to watch out for and makes it easier for your future generations to be aware of them, too!
Less Dental Anxiety
It can be tough for some to feel comfortable in a dentist’s office. If that someone is a child or young adult, their anxieties can be triggered all over again when they transition to a new, age-appropriate practice. Since family dentists treat patients of all ages, however, your young ones can find comfort in seeing familiar faces in a familiar atmosphere, even as they mature.
Build Lasting Trust
When a family dentist treats you, your children, and your children’s children well, it reinforces the trust you’ve had in them since day one. This applies to the kiddos, too – they see how these family dentists treat you and your parents and can thus be confident in their reliability when they grow older. Basically, family dentists can form bonds not just with your current household, but also your future generations.
Consistent, Reliable Care
Overall, a family dentist can provide more consistent and reliable care for you and your loved ones. They’ll be able to easily access your family’s dental records, and over time, will have hands-on experience with your health history. This is convenient and comforting for your current household, and will remain a solid constant as your family members age and change. If you haven’t already, call your local family dentist to schedule an appointment. A checkup and cleaning for you and your relations can be a good way to test the waters!
