subject: Questions To Ask At An Olathe, Ks Family Dentistry Facility [print this page]


Family dentistry is a special type of dentistry that some dentists wish to specialize in. While the ADA or American Dental Association does not officially recognize family dentistry, many dentists will use this terminology in an effort to attract the attention of families who wish to use the same dentist for the entire family. Family dentists are often able to treat all members of the family from toddlers to senior citizens. If you are considering finding a dentist that specializes in Olathe, KS family dentistry, here are some questions you can ask them to ensure they are the right fit for your family.

The first question to ask the staff at an Olathe, KS family dentistry facility is the hours of operation. There are over 34 elementary schools, 9 middle schools and a handful of high schools that serve the Olathe, Kansas area. The last thing you want is to find a dentist that is only open during school hours as this will require you to take your child out of school. Asking about the hours of operation will allow you to find a dentist that is open during your family's schedule, and will disrupt it as little as possible.

The second question to ask the staff at an Olathe, KS family dentistry facility is what they would do in the event that a specialist was needed. Many family dentists are only trained to handle basic oral care, such as fillings, root canals, and other procedures. In the event that a member of the family needs a specialized treatment the family dentist may need to recommend them to a specialist. Asking how this situation is handled before you choose a dentist can save you time and trouble in the future.

The third question to ask the staff at an Olathe, KS family dentistry facility is how they handle younger members of the family. Children are often difficult to treat when it comes to dental care because they are often restless or scared. Some dentists may claim they are family dentists but not have the experience or patience to deal with children. Asking ahead of time how much experience they have with children will not only save you time, but make your child's experience with the dentist a stress-free one.
