Meeting All Family Dental Needs Is Possible With A Sacramento Family Dentist.

By Roxy Albright


Confusing a Sacramento family dentist with a general dentist is often easy to do, since the two offer almost the same services, with only slight differences. A family specialist dentist accepts patients of all ages, from even the smallest of children to elderly patients. This makes it very convenient for families that would like to all see the same provider, but have different age groups and needs within the same family. Sacramento Dental is a family provider, caring for both baby and permanent teeth and overseeing overall dental health.

Finding a good Sacramento family dentist may require a little work, but is well worth the effort. Recommendations received from relatives, friends and colleagues are often a good place to start. Ask them what they like, dislike, and why. Ask them about both positives and negatives experiences. Compare your family's desires and needs to what they are recommending. If you can't ask those that you trust for recommendations, consider online dental sites or online non-biased websites. Dentists can be located by area, specialty, or insurance plans accepted.

Before making an appointment for any work to be performed, it might be worth a non-procedure appointment to Sacramento Dental, or any other office that you are considering. This can help you get a feel for the surroundings and atmosphere and see if it was what you were expecting. Prior to undergoing any treatment procedures, it also gives you a change to get a first impression of the dentist and his or her assistants. This can be invaluable, especially when treatments are for children. Children, more so than adults, tend to be anxious and scared about even having their teeth checked, so making them as comfortable as possible with the dentist is important. A caring Sacramento family dentist is fully aware of the special needs and fears that children have and will treat them as gently and soothingly as possible to decrease anxiety levels.

What should your expectations be of a Sacramento family dentist? Since the scope of practice for this type of dentistry is very similar to a general dentist, it also includes all basic dental procedures: cleanings, fillings, extractions, and teeth whitening, and other common dentistry procedures. Like a general dentist, a family practitioner will also offer tartar or plaque removal. This service can prevent teeth from decaying or developing cavities and routine visits to a dentist allows for regular checks of the teeth to assure no cavities are present and teeth and gums are healthy.

If your teeth, or your children's, require specialty treatment that you family practitioner cannot provide, he or she can refer you to a trained and experienced specialist, such as an orthodontist, endodontist, or oral surgeon. Specialists often provide more advanced treatments, such as root canals, dental implants, and periodontal treatments. And, in the case of an emergency, family providers should be able to provide emergency treatments as well.

At Sacramento Dental, finding a Sacramento family dentist to meet the dental needs of children, adults, and the elderly really is possible.
