The Importance of Having a Family Dentist

A family dentist is one who treats patients of all ages. The family dentists at Boles, Ham, Dixon & Boles have over thirty years of experience in providing a full range of dental services for the whole family. Our Wilson family dentist is committed to helping every patient maintain optimal oral, dental and overall health for a lifetime. We offer treatment options suited for every life stage, from pediatric dentistry to the special concerns faced by seniors.

In many ways, family dentistry is similar to general dentistry because it is focused on providing great preventive care and treating common dental problems. Not every general dentist is a family dentist, though. Most general dentists focus on treatments for adults, and do not provide the special care needed for children or the elderly. There are distinct advantages to having a family dentist, including:

• Convenience – A family dentist can help make your family’s dental care easier by enabling you to schedule all of your appointments together.
• Consistency – Because your family dentist can meet all of your dental needs throughout your lifetime, you can develop a consistent routine for dental cleanings and exams.
• History – Your family dentist gets to know your particular dental needs and can track your family health history to provide a higher level of care.
• Relationships – When you have so much invested in your oral health, a strong and lasting relationship with your dentist provides comfort and dedication.
