Family Dentistry in Wayne County, NY
The name Wayne County Dental Center says it all: this dental office is well-suited to the needs of every member of your family. You can feel confident that kids, adults, and seniors will all receive top-notch care from Dr. Emmanuel Puddicombe, one of Wayne County’s kindest and most talented dentists. Whether you and your loved ones need a cosmetic or restorative dental procedure, or just general dentistry care, Wayne County Dental Center is here for you.
Biannual Examinations and Cleanings
Everyone in your family should have a dental checkup twice a year to protect the ongoing health of their teeth and gums. Obviously, flossing and brushing your teeth are the best first line of defense against harmful bacteria, but those good habits cannot do as much as a deep, professional cleaning. At Wayne County Dental Center, our hygienists use the best tools available to clean areas in the mouth that you and your children cannot reach on your own. Removing tartar and plaque will reduce your risk for cavities and gum disease.
During these appointments, Dr. Puddicombe will also examine your mouth for any problems or irregularities. He is keen on noticing signs of infection, tooth decay, and periodontitis, even if the symptoms are so minor that you and your children did not recognize them on your own. If Dr. Puddicombe discovers an issue that needs treatment, he will be able to address it promptly to restore the functionality and appearance of your and your family members’ mouths.
Pediatric Family Dentistry
Most adults who are great brushers and flossers started these habits as children. Dr. Puddicombe understands the importance of instilling lifelong habits as early as possible. He is an effective communicator with kids of all ages, helping them not only be unafraid of dental procedures but also commit to brushing twice each day. The American Dental Association (ADA) suggests that you start bringing your children to the dentist by the time they are one year old — sooner if their first tooth appears before that.
Why It Makes Sense to Choose a Family Dentist
While many dental practices focus on treating either adults or children, those offices do not offer the convenience of bringing in the whole family for concurrent appointments. Not only will that save you time and trips to the dentist, but it also spares you the hassle of arranging childcare. Moreover, kids are more likely to take their own oral health more seriously if they can witness your own commitment to the process.
Because Dr. Puddicombe is skilled at handling general, cosmetic, and restorative dental needs, you will not need to worry about searching for specialized dentists when one of those needs arises for you or a family member. It is undoubtedly comforting to know you can develop a rapport with a single dentist who has earned the loyalty of countless patients throughout his career.
