A family dentist is different than a general dentist. The main distinction is that family dentists care for patients of all ages, including older adults and children.
However, a family dentist may also offer advanced services beyond prevention and general dentistry. For example, your family dentist in Audubon, NJ, offers the following treatments that fall outside general services:
- Dental implants
- Cosmetic dentistry
- Sleep apnea treatment
- Invisalign® clear orthodontics
- Root canal therapy
- Sedation dentistry
How Often Should My Family See the Dentist?
Children and adults should visit the dentist every six months for checkups and dental cleanings. These preventive appointments help achieve and maintain optimal oral health. They lower your tooth decay, infections, gingivitis, and gum disease risks.
If you already have a condition like gingivitis, your dentist will talk to you about a customized treatment schedule to address the issue.
Untreated gingivitis leads to gum disease, which puts your teeth and overall wellness at serious risk.
Between dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings, brushing and flossing regularly is vital.
