General dentists typically focus on treating dental conditions faced by the adults. General dentists learn how to perform tooth extractions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napervilledentistry.com\/root-canal.html\">root canals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napervilledentistry.com\/all-porcelain-crowns.html\">dental crowns<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napervilledentistry.com\/dental-veneers.html\">dental veneers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napervilledentistry.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> and a host of other procedures. General dentists can see children, but many often advertise services to those aged 16 or over. Treating adults is where their focus lies and where they feel most comfortable to offer a quality service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family dentists, on the other hand, serve patients of all ages, from toddlers to elderly grandparents. Family dentists are, in a sense, more general than \u201cgeneral dentists\u201d because they are willing to serve a broader demographic. Family dentists feel just as comfortable putting a filling in a baby tooth as they are placing dental implants into a senior mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Choose A Family Dentist?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While general dentists are often able to provide many of the same treatments as family dentists, family dentists aim to support all your family\u2019s oral health needs. Family dentists, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.napervilledentistry.com\/dr-bryan-weyneth.html\">like Dr. Weyneth<\/a>, offer not only regular cleanings and fluoride treatment but also advice and consultation to keep your children\u2019s teeth healthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family dentists can deliver comprehensive care to children of all ages and understand the difference between their teeth and adult teeth. T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he reason family dentists are so popular is that the entire family can see the same dentist when they visit. There\u2019s no need to swap between different dentist, allowing you to build a relationship with a single trusted professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many patients prefer to have one point of contact who they can ask for dental advice. A family dentist provides that no matter their stage in your family&#8217;s life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family dentists also have the additional advantage of working with the whole family group. By working with all members of your family, they can get a better sense of the types of oral problems that your children may face in the future. If, for instance, you have teeth prone to decay, then the dentist can help prevent similar scenarios for your kids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Schedule An Appointment Today<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family dentists also help to bring the whole family together. Children feel more relaxed and trust family dentists when they see them providing dental treatment for their parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you looking for a family dentist?
