A family dentist is a dentist who works with families and treats both children and adults. The demands of dental treatment for children are different than those for adults and these factors must be understood before treatment begins. For families it is often much easier to see a single general dentist rather than several dentists or dental specialist for the different dental care needs. This is why the general dentist is such a good choice. At the Atlanta Dental Group PC we have two dentists who enjoy treating families.

       A family dentist is really just a general dentist who has experience working with families. The dentist must be able to work well with children and be sympathetic to their feelings and needs. Dental care that is important for children includes, orthodontics, emergency dentistry and the ability to educate children as to why they should brush their teeth and how. While people rarely think of going to the dentist it can be a pleasant experience and the dentist should work to make it so.

       Family dentistry is about more than a family dentist who can provide many different dental procedures. It is also about creating the atmosphere of a dental family, where going regular dentist visits are made and they are an enjoyable experience. Adult and teen dental care requires a wider variety of services. Dental surgery, cosmetic dentistry, and the ability to treat a wide variety of oral health problems is important to a general dentist treating families.
