Contrary to popular belief, general dentists aren’t always family dentists. Family dentists usually have some specific training and experience working with children. While they aren’t pediatric dentists, they have a good idea on how to care for the teeth, mouth, and gums of children as well as teens, adults, and seniors.

Your children won’t have to transition to a different dentist once they reach a certain age. They can build a close knit relationship with a family dentist and rely on them for all of their dental needs.
