There are many good things about having a family dentist but one of the nicest may be that everyone associated with the practice from the scheduling staff to the dental assistants gets to know your family members on a personal basis. It’s comforting to be greeted by name at any time but especially when you walk into the dentist’s office and could really use a friendly smile.

Aside from the personal aspect you will want to find a family dentist that has the experience and reputation that deserves your trust and confidence. After all, it’s your family that we’re talking about here.

Professionalism is an important character trait but you also want a dentist that will take the time to listen to your questions and with whom you feel comfortable asking those questions, no matter how trivial they may seem.

You and your family members will spend a lot of time with your dental hygienist. She’s the one who will clean your teeth every six months and take x-rays when they are called for. A gentle touch and a cheerful disposition are definite assets and a hygienist who has had experience with children, well that’s an extra perk.

If you can find a dentist who can truly inspire your family members to realize the importance of good oral health you will be a step ahead in the fight against tooth decay and gum disease.
