Dental Care for the Whole Family

No two families are exactly alike when it comes to dental health. Family dentistry provides personalized dental care to suit your family’s unique dental needs. At Mid-Valley Dental Care, we treat each member of your family individually, taking into consideration their age, dental hygiene practices, and current oral health. Drs. Terence, Casey, and Kayla Lau treat patients of all ages, making it easier to meet all your family’s dental care needs. 

What to Expect from Family Dental Care 

Life can become busy quickly when you have children. Between work, your children’s school, and their extracurricular activities, it can become difficult to squeeze in dental visits. Family dentistry can simplify dental visits so everyone can get the quality dental care they need. Working with the same dental office makes it easier to schedule checkups and cleanings, follow up on lengthy treatments and receive continuous care. Your children will also get to know their dentist personally, which can help put them at ease. 

At Mid-Valley Dental Care, we offer a wide range of dental services to boost your family’s oral health, ranging from routine dental checkups to:

  • Comprehensive dental cleanings
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Dental sealants
  • Cavity treatment
  • Root canal therapy
  • Treatment of gum disease
  • Tooth extractions
  • Orthodontics
  • Restorative and Cosmetic treatments

Unified Standard for Your Oral Health 

General and family dentistry help set a unified dental hygiene standard for your entire family. By introducing your children to dental care early on, they can establish good oral care habits that will sustain them well into their adult years. When you have one dental provider for the entire family, it’s easier for parents to make oral care a priority. This sets up children and teens to have good oral care habits throughout their lives.
