What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry is a branch of dental care that provides comprehensive oral health services for patients of all ages, from young children to seniors. Unlike pediatric dentistry, which focuses solely on children, family dentists are trained to treat both kids and adults, making them a convenient choice for families who want a single provider for all their dental needs.
Common Dental Treatments in Family Dentistry
