When one family member needs braces, another needs a chipped tooth fixed, and yet another is due for a cleaning, Eriks Dental Group in Boynton Beach is just the place for everyone to receive the oral health treatment they need. From a child’s first teeth to Grandma’s veneers, our wide array of family dental services caters to everyone.
With another school year on the horizon, family dental care should be on your checklist right along with new shoes and notebooks. Read on to learn more about our family dentistry practice and why we’re a top choice for dental care in South Florida.
What’s So Special About Family Dental Care?
Many dentistry practices cater to a specific demographic of people. Family dental care, by contrast, offers comprehensive care for both adults and children. This saves families from the hassle of having to seek care in multiple locations, which makes our practice both convenient and practical.
A family-focused dentistry practice involves focusing on building relationships in addition to oral health. We provide regular cleanings in addition to preventing and treating any issues that may come up, such as gingivitis or cavities.
Other key aspects of family dental care include:
Preventative Care
Prevention is key to avoiding many health complications, and oral health is no exception. With regular checkups that include cleanings, not to mention a daily brush and floss routine at home, can prevent cavities and gum disease. Regular checkups may catch health issues early on, before they have a chance to develop into something more severe.
It’s recommended that you see your family dentist for checkups every three or four months, depending on your overall health.
Pediatric Dentistry
A child’s first teeth are a big milestone. Starting from the very first tooth, our team can monitor your child’s developing oral health, ensuring they are off to a great start. We also help parents navigate issues like breaking the habit of pacifiers and thumb sucking, both of which can lead to alignment issues down the road.
Once the first teeth have pushed through, it’s never too early to introduce a brushing routine. It’s recommended to start with a soft, silicon brush, and a tiny amount of toothpaste to get them started. They may not be efficient at brushing for a while, but the point is to start early with developing good habits.
Having children see the dentist while they’re young helps prevent any fear or anxiety associated with cleanings. Children can feel safe and comfortable from the very first visit, and even grow to enjoy seeing our friendly, compassionate staff. At Eriks Dental Group, kids can learn that caring for their teeth can be fun: especially if they receive a new toothbrush and fun flavored toothpaste at the end of every visit.
Adult Dentistry
Adult dentistry is a wide term for many different services, from common issues like cavities to veneers and root canals. Aging can compound existing dental issues, or bring about new ones. Other health conditions or medications can result in dental issues when there were previously none.
Whatever the issue is, our experienced dental team can help. We’ve seen everything from tooth decay and loss, adult braces, creating dentures and implants, and everything in between.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Many people have insecurities about their smiles. This can be due to crooked, missing, chipped, or stained teeth. Whatever is, chances are the issue is treatable.
Cosmetic services offered at Eriks Dental Group include the following:
- Professional teeth whitening (lasts much longer and is more effective than over-the-counter whitening strips)
- Porcelain veneers
- Custom fillings and implants
- Invisalign and other orthodontic services
We understand the self-esteem issues that can result from a smile you don’t want people to see. Our cosmetic services not only help boost confidence but improve quality of life. When you feel more comfortable smiling, others will, too.
Consult your family dentist with your specific goals, and we can work with you to recommend procedures that suit your needs and preferences, provided that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for these services.
Emergency Services
Life happens: a freak accident or injury can result in toothaches or chipped or lost teeth, requiring urgent treatment. Because we care about our patients, we make every effort to respond quickly and efficiently to unexpected incidents by offering same-day services when possible. Call us right away, and we will do our best to get you taken care of.
Education
In addition to cleanings and treatments, the next most important service offered at Eriks Dental is education. This is the best prevention tool in a patient’s arsenal. When you know how to brush and floss effectively, you maximize your oral health.
Should you have a question about oral healthcare, your child’s braces, or another dental issue, the answer can be found on our website or by consulting a member of our team.
