Family dentistry provides oral health care for people of all ages, from children to adults. Family dentists offer a wide range of dental services, including regular checkups, cleanings, fillings, extractions, root canals, and other preventive and restorative procedures. They focus on preventative dental care and educating patients on proper oral hygiene to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Family dentists also have the expertise to identify and treat dental issues that may be hereditary or more common among certain age groups, such as children with cavities or older adults with gum disease. Overall, family dentistry is essential for promoting good oral health for families and preventing dental problems before they become more serious.
