A family dentist in South Surrey / White Rock, BC can provide you with a number of important oral health benefits. Regular visits to your Surrey dentist should be more than just maintaining a bright beautiful smile. It should also be about maintaining a high level of oral hygiene. Ensuring your family has the proper level of oral hygiene can help reduce the chances of infections, heart disease, and even cancer. Oral hygiene is a significant part of our overall health and wellness.
At My Dentist at Morgan Creek, our general dentists may not be pediatric dentists but they are just as qualified and experienced to take care of your kids as well as your oral health. We are committed to providing the very best in family dental care where our patients, from a child to a grandparent, are attended to, with the utmost care, ensuring your comfort. Ever since My Dentist at Morgan Creek was established in 2004, we’ve had patients visiting us for well over a decade, making us their ‘family’ dentist.
What Is a Family Dentist?
A family dentist is a dental practitioner with experience in treating patients of all ages. Our family dentists are just at ease teaching a toddler to use a toothbrush as they are showing a senior how to properly care for dentures. As your family dentist, we can offer you a wide array of treatments, other than the expected dental checkups, cleaning, fillings, sealants, or extractions. Our dentist can also offer you cosmetic dental treatments as well as dental implants and removable dentures and/or bridges. Our Surrey dentists not only can help maintain but also improve the overall oral health of your family.
The Benefits of Family Dentistry
Family Dentists Make Dental Care Simpler and More Convenient
When you have a family dentist, dental care can become simpler and more convenient, especially if you can make appointments for all family members to be seen on the same day. Your regular checkups and tooth cleanings are an important part of everyone’s oral health, and if you can get through your whole family’s appointments on the same day, you can save time and avoid the hassle of scheduling them on different days, and different locations.
Your Family Dentist is Aware of Your Family’s Dental History
Visiting a Surrey dentist who is familiar with your family’s oral health history is quite important since he or she will be aware of any past dental issues, sensitivities, and overall oral health. Consequently, you will be provided with the most suitable treatments, especially if your family dentist knows how you have reacted to previous treatments.
What’s more, a proactive family dentist may be able to notice any new symptoms or issues since your last dental visit and take the appropriate measures to help protect your oral health. There are also dental issues that are genetic, so it is an advantage for the whole family to visit the same dentist on a regular basis.
You Can Create a Long-Lasting Relationship
When you have a family dentist you can trust, you are more likely to communicate more honestly and openly, providing as much information as possible about your issue. As a result, the more information your family dentist has about your issue, the more accurate his or her diagnosis and choice of treatment will be.
Minimize Fear or Anxiety of Going to the Dentist
Fear or anxiety of going to the dentist can discourage people from dealing with dental issues. This dental anxiety can be experienced by both children and adults. If you have someone in your family who is apprehensive about visiting the dentist then having a family doctor whom your entire family may visit at the same time can help the individual who is anxious.
Dental anxiety can also develop at an early age, but if your children see you visiting your family dentist without any fear, they may be less likely to feel anxious about their dental visits since often children tend to mimic the actions and responses of their parents. Therefore, by going together to the same dentist, you can help them feel more confident and much safer since they see that you trust your family dentist to treat you as well.
Receive More Consistent Dental Services
When you know what to expect and feel comfortable about your dental visit, you are more likely to adhere to preventative dental appointments such as your bi-annual checkups and dental cleaning which will help avoid serious dental issues. Also, by visiting the same dentist on a regular basis you will receive advice and updates about your oral health and about the latest technologies or products that can help you maintain a beautiful bright smile.
Your Family Dentist Can be Extremely Helpful in Dental Emergencies
When you have a family dentist, you will feel more confident about calling him or her during a dental emergency for advice and immediate dental care. You won’t have to call around for an emergency dentist who might or might not have available appointments on the same day.
