A family dentist is similar to your family physician serving as primary care providers.

Some oral diseases and abnormalities indicate other health conditions. A general dentist will keep you updated on your health, suggest the right treatment and share the latest medical advancements. They also refer patients to a specialist for further treatment if needed and finally work together to achieve the satisfaction you are looking for to get the best oral health care.
