How Old Does My Child Need to Be for Family Dentistry Services?
The American Dental Association recommends your child’s first dental visit take place as soon as their first tooth erupts or no later than their first birthday. These early childhood visits serve many purposes, not the least of which is helping ensure your child develops a healthy relationship with professional dental care.
We have two pediatric specialists on staff and maintain extended hours on Thursdays and Saturdays to meet the scheduling demands of today’s busy families. We can even schedule multiple family members at the same time to ensure we are meeting your specific needs.
Can Teething Symptoms Be Treated at a Family Dentist?
Teething is an inescapable part of facial development. It is uncomfortable and irritating. There is nothing that can be done professionally to address this. Many over-the-counter remedies are available to assist small children in dealing with the discomforts of teething. Infants often respond well to gum massage, icing the gums, and frozen or cold teething toys. Toddlers may do okay with OTC analgesics or homeopathic remedies as well. We would be happy to provide individualized recommendations based on your child’s needs during their next visit to our office.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry a Part of Family Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is its own branch of dental arts. It is not part of family dentistry.
Where family dentistry focuses on preventive treatments like cleanings, general services including root canal, and restorative options such as dental fillings and inlays/onlays, cosmetic dentistry focuses exclusively on aesthetics. There are some services, such as dental crowns, tooth replacement options, and dental bonding that may have cross-over benefits, but services that are expressly cosmetic will not fall under the umbrella of family dentistry under most circumstances.
How Many Family Members Can Be Part of a Family Dentistry Plan?
At our Hoboken office, we can see every member of your household – regardless of age – from infancy through the senior years. We can even see multiple people, of various ages, during a single appointment time.
As far as plans go, you will need to discuss coverage with your dental insurer. Most dental plans do not limit the number of people covered so long as those covered are dependents, a partner, or a spouse. We are not involved in the coverage offered by your dental insurer.
Is Family Dentistry Covered by Insurance?
Dental insurance typically covers most if not all of the costs associated with family dentistry services. This includes cleanings, restorations, treatment for disease and infection, tooth extraction, and tooth replacement.
We are a fee-for-service, out-of-network provider for most insurance plans. This means that you will pay all costs upfront and submit your bills to insurance for reimbursement. We can assist with the filing of electronic claims to help speed this process.
