When searching for a family dentist, your first step should be to examine the credentials, background and experience of each dentist you are considering. Not all dentists are equally accomplished or respected, so it’s important to choose a practice you can trust with every aspect of your dental health.
Family Dentistry Features to Look For
Before you select a family dentist, visit various websites and gather as much information as you can about each practice. As you consider potential dentists, look for the following:
- Patient age range: Are services provided to meet the needs of all of your family members? In addition to regular exams and cleanings, are there cosmetic services available for the adult members of your family? Wood Creek Dental offers exceptional services to children, seniors, and everyone in between.
- Patient focus: Is their pediatric dentistry committed to the proper development of your child’s teeth, bite, jaw development and general oral health? What measures are taken to ensure these young patients are made to feel comfortable and have a fun and positive experience? It’s important to promote good dental hygiene habits for children and address any issues that may affect oral development, such as finger sucking or pacifier use.
- Patient experience: Does the practice create a positive environment for both children and adults? The friendly dentists at Wood Creek Dental take pride in promoting and maintaining the value of good oral hygiene, while making appointments comfortable, relaxing and non-threatening.
