Family Dentistry

As we go through our life, our dental care needs can change. But that doesn’t mean that your dentist  needs to change. A skilled family dentist can address the needs of your family at all stages in life, from childhood, through adulthood, and into seniority. While you may sometimes need a specialist, there are many benefits from getting all your family’s dental care from the same dentist.

As well as many more. If you don’t see a service listed, please call us and ask — we likely perform it, and, if we don’t we can refer you to someone who can.

Why Riverlands Dental is a Great Family Dental Office

We believe that every patient deserves remarkable care for every procedure. This includes a child’s first visit as much as an adult’s dental implant procedure. We take steps to make sure we’re delivering remarkable care at every step of the way.  

 
Our dentists are well-trained in a variety of procedures, and have a wide range of experience in dentistry. We even have a dentist who has focused training, coursework, and research specifically on dentistry for children.
 
We also focus on minimal intervention dentistry, which helps children get used to the dentist’s office without having as many major procedures. We teeth a whole-health approach to dentistry, which helps children understand that good oral health means more than just brushing and flossing — it includes diet, healthy lifestyle,  and protecting your teeth from accidents. It helps children form healthy habits that will serve them for a lifetime.
 
In addition, all our dentists understand how to practice compassionate dentistry. This is great for children, and also helps adults a lot more than they like to admit.

The earlier the better. As soon as a child has teeth, you should consider getting them to the dentist. An early visit helps us establish a positive relationship and build healthy habits.

A child should start brushing (with supervision) as soon as they can hold the toothbrush. However, they shouldn’t use fluoride toothpaste until they can reliably spit it out. This might be by age 2, but some kids take longer.

Benefits of Having a Single Family Dentist

Having a family dentist is convenient–you can all get your dental care in the same place, which can sometimes help with scheduling and transportation. But it’s more than just convenient: it can lead to better dental care.
 
Dental problems tend to run in families. When parents have cavities and gum disease, children are likely to get them, too. Partly, this is genetic, but it’s also partly about habits and lifestyle. The family that eats together gets cavities together. When a dentist looks into your mouth, it’s almost like a crystal ball telling them what they’re going to see in your kid’s mouth in the future.  When we get that warning, we can recommend steps to take to avoid these problems in the future.
 
Working with your entire family gives us multiple opportunities to encourage healthy behaviors and get everyone in the family together on the same page. That way, you can all enjoy better oral health in the future.
