What is Family Dental Care?

Family dental care is a branch of dentistry that addresses oral health at every stage of life. Unlike specialists who focus on a particular age group or type of treatment, family dentists are equipped to care for a wide range of dental issues that can occur throughout a person’s lifetime.
