You're searching for dental care for your ohana, and you keep seeing terms like "general dentist" and "family dentist." Are they the same thing? While both provide essential dental care, some meaningful differences can impact your family's experience, especially here in the close-knit community of Kauai.
Key Differences Between General Dentists and Family Dentists
General Dentists:
- May see children, but typically focus on adults
- Designed office environment with adults in mind
- Provide standard dental care for adult needs
- Focus on individual patient education
- Typically schedule individual appointments
- Maintain professional patient relationships
Family Dentists:
- Specialize in treating patients of all ages, from keiki to kupuna
- Create welcoming environments for children with kid-friendly amenities
- Adapt communication and techniques for different age groups
- Promote oral health habits for all ages and teach parents about their child’s dental development
- Often accommodate multiple family members in a single visit
- Build lasting relationships with entire families, watching children grow and celebrating milestones together
