What Does Family Dentistry Mean?

What does family dentistry mean? In our office, it means that we provide comprehensive dental care to your entire family. It means that our family takes care of your family. It means that we care about our staff like they are members of our family.
We are frequently asked when children should begin to see a dentist. While many pediatric dentists will see children as early as one year old, we typically like to see a patient for the first exam and cleaning between three and four years old assuming they are not having a problem. Debbie's background is pediatric nursing and loves to make that first visit a positive experience for our little patients. Don't be upset if we only get an exam accomplished at the first visit. We try to do cleaning; but feel that a positive experience is the primary goal. Most pediatric dentists only do an exam at the first visit and bring them back in a week for the cleaning. We do not attempt to x-rays on that first visit. We will let them see and touch all of the unfamiliar dental instruments that we use. We will "count" their teeth and see "Mr. Thirsty" (the suction). If your child is still apprehensive, we have several pediatric dentists that we can refer to.
We recently saw a three year old. Dr Johnson has treated his mom since she was a little girl. So, we now treat three generations in that family. THAT is family dentistry! If this sound like something that you want to be part of, call to meet our dental care team!
