Trying to find the right dentist for your family can be compared to any other shopping responsibility in that you have to match the service to the need. If one of your family members requires braces, for instance, you’ll need someone who specializes in orthodontics but if your own interest lies in the cosmetic field of dentistry that could be a separate issue. One of your goals is to avoid having to have more than one dentist with offices across town from your home or the kid's school. Fortunately, it is not hard to find a dental practice today that provides a wide range of benefits under one roof.

Prevention is of key importance when it comes to your dental health. General dentistry encourages six-month checkups and cleanings and provides patients with educational information about home care, protective custom fitted mouthguards when appropriate and dental sealants for extra protection against tooth decay.

Many so-called “general” dentist are skilled in restorative services such as fillings, root canals or emergency care as well as cosmetic procedures including in-office or take-home whitening systems, dental crowns, and bonding.

Your overall well being is directly connected to your dental health. Your dentist is often the first to notice symptoms that may warrant a referral to your personal physician for further diagnosis.
