Family Dentistry Done Right
At Southridge Dental we focus on preventive dental care. Our family dentistry services ensure the dental health and wellness of your whole family from infant to senior. It all starts with the basics: checkups and teeth cleanings every six months. If you rarely need any dental treatment, visiting our office every six months may seem like a waste of your time, but in many cases, tooth decay or gum disease (two of the most common oral health concerns) can be eliminated before they cause unnecessary damage when your doctor is able to find and treat them early. Additionally, there are numerous oral health issues that may go entirely unnoticed, if your dentist does not examine your bite regularly. For instance, bruxism (tooth grinding and clenching) frequently goes undiagnosed in patients who do not see their dentist regularly as your dentist will not have a good idea how quickly the damage is progressing.
Regular oral hygiene appointments can help you maintain whiter teeth, fresher breath, and protect your teeth and gums from bacteria. Your dental hygienist is able to remove calculus or hardened plaque that builds up on your teeth over time. Regular brushing and flossing at home can significantly reduce the amount of plaque, but once the plaque has hardened, it is extremely difficult to remove the calculus. Your hygienist will remove these layers, provide at home oral health care recommendations and can recommend sealants or fluoride treatments for patients when needed.
Great Family Dentist, Denton, TX
Children deserve to feel safe and comfortable at the dentist too. That’s why we encourage families to begin bringing their children to visit us at Southridge Dental before their first birthday. When children become accustomed to the sights and sounds of the dental office at an early age, they are more likely to establish positive memories and associations with visiting the dentist. Our goal is to make the dentist a safe place for you and your whole family. We invite you to bring your child to your next checkup so she can see what happens, and to start making six month checkups for her as soon as you feel comfortable doing so. The earlier and more often we see your child, we are better able to find and treat possible dental health concerns before they adversely affect your child’s oral health.
