The goal of a family dentist to protect and restore the oral health of everyone in your home. 
From children to teens to seniors, all ages are welcome to obtain their dental care in a family dental office. To select the right dentist for your family, it should take more than randomly picking the first one you hear about; do your research by looking online and asking friends and neighbors. During your search, here are some things to consider.
Location
The location of your family dentist is important. Choose one close to your home or along a route your family uses regularly, so that it’s convenient to go to appointments. It’s also helpful if you require emergency treatment or when you’re anxious to get home after a procedure.
Services
Ask what services are provided by the family dentist. You need to be certain that all treatments and procedures that you believe you or another family member might need are available in the office. Not only will you need preventative services like dental X-rays and professional cleanings, you may also require things like fillings, bonding, root canal treatment, dental implants, veneers and more. You might also be interested in cosmetic dental procedures.
Care
Families have members with unique needs. If you have children, you’ll want a provider who is accustomed to working with young people who tend to squirm, cry, or ask a million questions. Or you might have a senior adult who needs gentle support and empathy for their aging oral health. You might have a teenager who is interested in orthodontic help, or any member of the family can have dental anxiety that requires special considerations.
Policies
Ask about office policies such as hours, emergency treatment, appointments for multiple family members simultaneously, and financial plans. Gathering as much information as possible will help you make the best decision for your family.
