Tired of having to visit different dentists to accommodate the needs of your family?
The good news is you don’t need to.
Kiln Lane Dental is a leading St Helens family dental clinic – offering preventative and restorative treatments for infants, juniors, teens, adults and elderly patients. Rather than focusing on a specific age group, we take care of oral health during every stage of life.
Allow us to explain the importance of family dentistry and how you can benefit from visiting a family dental practice like ours.
Why is family dentistry important for oral health?
One of the best things a parent can do for their children is to stress the importance of looking after their teeth and attending regular check-ups at the dentist.
A family dentist can teach little ones how to brush their teeth properly. And encouraging them to brush their teeth and floss daily from an early age can prevent health and dental issues later on in life.
Every member of your family has unique dental needs, and family dentists can treat each one according to their age and stage in life. They can also track the progress of your oral health – whether that be improved brushing habits or an increased number of cavities.
As some dental disorders (i.e. gum disease or a misaligned bite) are hereditary, getting dental care at the same practice as the rest of your family can be beneficial. The dental professional will be aware of your family’s oral health history and can keep an eye out for problems.
The benefits of visiting a family dental practice
Familiarity
When you visit a family dentist, you can trust that they will have your oral health information handy every time you visit the practice. They’ll also be familiar with your dental issues.
By going to the same dentist, parents can also show their children that receiving dental treatment is a positive experience – helping them keep their teeth healthy – as opposed to a scary one. And taking children to the dentist from a young age gets them used to practising good oral hygiene habits.
Convenience
Family dentists can offer the right care for patients of all ages – from toddlers to seniors.
This means, instead of driving to and from different dental practices, you can schedule all the family’s dental appointments together at a convenient time.
And the best bit is, you won’t need to change your children’s dentist as they get older, which makes your life easier.
Tailored treatment
With family dentistry, you can be confident the dental professionals will provide only the best care for your household, as everyone is assessed and treated on a case-by-case basis.
At Kiln Lane Dental, we can perform a wide range of dental treatments and procedures to suit the needs of your family. This includes everything from regular check-ups and routine cleans to fluoride treatments and tooth whitening.
Emergency care
Kids are prone to dental emergencies – especially if they play sports.
However, if you or anyone in your family experience unexpected dental trauma – be it a chipped tooth or worse – you can rely on a St Helens family dentist to provide the necessary treatment.
