Family dentistry addresses oral health at all stages of life. A good family dentist offers a range of dental services, from cleanings and fillings to sealants, tooth replacement, crowns, and bridges.

Dentists that practice family dentistry addresses the needs of children of all ages. Dr. Kauser Bari and her experienced associates understand how children’s teeth change with age and recognize that kids often fear visiting the dentist. They also know that even some adults prefer to be treated as kids in the dental chair since they’re apprehensive about dental procedures.

That’s why Dr. Bari and the dentists at KRB Dentistry use a gentle approach to help children of all ages create positive dental associations and build good oral hygiene habits.

The main difference between a family and traditional dentist is that family dental groups like KRB Dentistry specialize in dental procedures for people of all ages.

Instead of making appointments and visiting multiple offices, your family’s dental needs are handled in one convenient location. This under-one-roof approach enables Dr. Bari and her associates to offer the following benefits:

One-Stop Care

Dr. Bari and her associates offer a one-stop solution for all your family’s dental care needs; whether you need a pediatric dentist or an endodontist, family dentists provide what you need all in one office.

Convenience

Family dentistry also offers you the ability to schedule appointments for all your family members at the same time; then, you and your family spend less time waiting. KRB Dentistry also offers Saturday hours for your convenience.

Specialized Training

In addition to standard dental school, family dentists also obtain advanced training and education for all dental procedures to take care of your family’s full range of dental needs.

Patient Education

Family dentists focus on educating all of their patients about teeth-cleaning or dental hygiene practices. From teaching toddlers proper brushing techniques to showing elderly patients the appropriate way to clean their dentures, family dentists ensure you and your family members maintain good dental habits. Family dentists also focus on positive dental experiences for you and your entire family.

During your first visit to a family dental practice like KRB Dentistry, your dentist takes a full health history, and you undergo a thorough cleaning and exam, including X-rays.

During the dental exam, Dr. Bari or another dentist at KRB Dentistry looks for signs of disease or other dental problems that affect your teeth, gums, and mouth. Then, the dentist confirms their diagnosis with X-rays.

At this time, the dentist also determines what type of cleaning is required, depending on the amount of plaque buildup and bone loss. X-rays help your dentist diagnose issues that otherwise go unnoticed, including decay in between your teeth, bone loss, damage to your jawbone, impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts, and tumors.

During your cleaning, the dentist scrapes or cleans along and below your gum line with a hand scaler or an ultrasonic scaler to remove all of the built-up plaque and tartar that causes gum disease, cavities, bad breath, and other oral problems. Once all of your plaque and tartar are removed, your teeth are flossed and polished.
