Looking for easy ways to simplify your life? Consider choosing one dentist for your entire family. Your Radcliff, KY, dentist, Dr. Ernest Skaggs, explains how you'll benefit by visiting a family dentist.

Quality care for the entire family

There are no age restrictions when you choose a family dentist. In fact, it's not unusual for the dentists to treat two or three generations of the entire family. Family dentists are experienced in treating and diagnosing a range of dental problems, from developmental abnormalities in children to gum disease in adults and senior citizens.​

Complete range of services

Family dentists offer a variety of treatments and procedures that can improve your oral health and your appearance, including:

• Fillings to replace decayed portions of your teeth
• Crowns to restore damaged teeth and hide flaws
• Bridges, dentures and dental implants to replace missing teeth
• Root canal therapy
• Gum disease treatment
• Veneers to cover imperfections in your tooth enamel
• Teeth whitening
• Braces

More time for you

Visiting several different dentists can be time consuming when you're the one driving family members to their appointments. In addition to the time spent on the road and in the waiting room, you'll also have to use your paid time off to cover the hours that you're not at work. Family dentists can schedule back-to-back appointments for the entire family, ensuring that you only have to make one trip to the dentist every six months.

A positive experience for your children

New experiences can be a little scary for children. Visiting our Radcliff office with your kids is an excellent way to ensure that your children regard a dental visit as a positive experience. When your children see that you enjoy your visits and look forward to interacting with the dentist and staff, they'll be much more likely to feel good about their own visits.

Safeguard your family's oral health by visiting a family dentist. Call Dr. Skaggs in Radcliff, KY, at (270) 351-3265 to schedule your appointment.
