One Dentist for the Whole Family

Why choose one dentist for your entire family? Family dentists Drs. Saul and David Frechtman of Frechtman Family Dental of Edison explain how you can benefit from the change.

Visiting one dentist is a time saver

Making time for your own dental appointments isn't always easy. When you must chauffeur family members all over the Edison area to their appointments, it may be even more difficult to find enough time. Unfortunately, if you can't leave work early, you and your family members may not visit the dental office as often as you should.

Regular dental visits can help you avoid serious oral health issues. If you do happen to have a small cavity or the early stages of gum disease, prompt treatment will help you avoid serious consequences, such as extensive decay or tooth loss. Dental cleanings, an important service offered during checkups, remove plaque and hard tartar from your teeth, which helps lower your tooth decay and gum disease risk.

Family dentists have extensive experience

Family dentists don't limit themselves to one particular age group, but treat toddlers to senior citizens. Because they treat such a large age range, they're skilled at handling the various dental issues that can occur throughout your life, such as:

• Developmental Issues: Your family dentist will evaluate your child's teeth and jaw to check for normal growth and development.
• Tooth Decay: Decay can affect your family members at any age. Treating cavities when they're small will help reduce the damage done to teeth as a result of the decay.
• Damage: If your teeth are chipped, cracked, or broken, your dentist can offer solutions that will restore and protect your smile.
• Gum Disease: Every dental checkup also includes a thorough examination of your gums. If treated early, it's often possible to reverse gum disease symptoms.
• Tooth Loss: Dentists offer restoration options, such as dentures, bridges or dental implants, if you or a family member has experienced tooth loss.
