What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry is an all-inclusive dental practice where anyone of any age can receive treatment at a single location. It ranges from preventive to diagnostic testing to restorative care. With Gentle Family Dentistry, our goal is to provide continuity of care to all family members as procedures are personalized as their dental needs evolve with time.
By offering dental services to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors under a roof, we make it easy to visit the dentist. From your child's first cleaning to your parents' annual exam, we support every stage of your family's oral health journey.
Our Family Dentistry Services
- Routine Dental Checkups
Regular six-month visits to the dentist are crucial for identifying problems before they become significant. Our checkups include thoroughly examining your teeth, gums, and soft tissues of the mouth, ensuring consistent oral health monitoring and reminding patients about effective home care.
- Dental Cleanings
Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. Our dental professionals provide thorough cleanings to prevent decay and complement your home care routine, ensuring healthy gums. Our cleanings are tailored for all ages—gentle for children, comprehensive for adults, and modified for patients with specific dental issues.
- Pediatric Dentistry
Children have unique dental requirements. Our pediatric clinic offers gentle cleanings, brushing and diet counseling, fluoride applications, and sealants to protect newly erupted teeth. We emphasize creating a friendly and stress-free environment to make children feel comfortable during their visits.
- Dental Sealants
Sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, particularly in children and teenagers. This simple, painless process effectively helps prevent most cavities by sealing off the grooves where food particles tend to collect naturally.
- Emergency Dental Services
Dental emergencies are unpredictable and can occur at any time. Our clinics in Augusta, Winslow, and Madison are equipped to handle your dental emergencies with quick and efficient treatment. Whether it's a chipped tooth, an acute toothache, or an infected tooth, our trained staff is committed to providing prompt relief and care.
- Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are vital to every family dentistry appointment, particularly for adult patients. These screenings are essential for catching early signs of oral cancer, as earlier discovery leads to better outcomes. We are committed to offering this simple preventive screening at every visit.
