You brush them twice a day, floss once a day, and see your dentist regularly. Right? We love your teeth, too! In fact, there\u2019s so much to know about caring for your oral health that dentistry has quite a few categories of specialties and different kinds of dentists.<\/p>\n<p>The primary dentist in your life should be your family dentist, also known as a general dentist. Your family dentist is whom you will see most often for dental check-ups. But how exactly is <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/family-dentistry\/\">family dentistry<\/a> different from other kinds of dentistry? <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/\">Carolina Complete Dental<\/a> shares more below about family dentistry.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Types of Dentistry<\/h3>\n<p>All dentists have an undergraduate degree and then go on to about four years of dental school. This earns them either a doctorate of dental medicine (DMD) or doctorate of dental surgery (DDS). To become more specialized, the dentist will need additional education and clinical experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>General Dentist<\/strong>: A family dentist is a general dentist. They treat patients of all ages and offer a broad range of services from fillings to screening for oral cancer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Endodontist<\/strong>: They focus on the soft, inner layers of the teeth. Tooth pain, infections, and <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/oral-surgery\/#RootCanals\">root canals<\/a> are their primary focus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oral &amp; Maxillofacial Surgeon<\/strong>: Specialized in <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/#EmergencyDentistry\">emergency dentistry<\/a>, the anatomy of the mouth, and anesthesia in case you ever need <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/oral-surgery\/\">oral surgery<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orthodontist<\/strong>: They improve your smile for both looks and function with teeth straightening techniques and <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/orthodontics\/\">orthodontics<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Periodontist<\/strong>: Treats gum disease and promotes gum health. They sometimes perform surgery and can install <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/dental-implants\/\">dental implants<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oral Pathologist<\/strong>: Can diagnose and treat any disease in the teeth, lips, cheeks, and jaws by analyzing pathology and bacteria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Family Dentistry is Preventive Care<\/h3>\n<p>Seeing your dentist regularly is just as important as seeing your primary care doctor regularly. A family dentist will have an ongoing relationship with you and every member of your family to help keep you healthy and navigate any potential oral health concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of seeing a family dentist are many! Here are just a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Convenience<\/strong>: Family dentists have regular office hours and can treat your whole family in one day. Whether you do all of the appointments at once or each in a row, you only have to make one trip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long-term Relationship<\/strong>: The better your dentist knows you and your health history the better they can serve you. Your relationship with your family dentist will only improve with time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preventive Care &amp; Comprehensive Treatment<\/strong>: Family dentists treat people of all ages and do everything from cleanings and cancer screenings to addressing sleep issues, preventing diseases, and consulting for orthodontics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prevent Disease<\/strong>: Regular cleanings and check-ups with a family dentist help prevent any future problems by keeping gum disease and decay at bay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community<\/strong>: Everyone can see the family dentist! From your kids to your sister and your mom to your mail carrier and babysitter.
