Q. I am looking for a dentist that provides regular checkups for both an adults. Essentially, I am looking for a Westbank Family Dentist Clinic.
A. Any dentist should be able to do these basic things for you.
You should be picky only if you need major dental works.

Should I go to a different dentist?
Q. I have major dental problems. I have had several root canals, which are now needing to be replaced with bridges or implants. I also have type 2 diabetes. The dentist I use is just a regular family dentist. Should I be seeing some kind of specialized dentist for a mouth with so many problems?
A. no. your dentist will refer you to an individual specialist if any particular procedure is beyond his/her scope. if you are worried he/she isn't doing a good job and that's why things are failing go and get a second opinion. Side note: keep your diabetes well controlled or future implants will have a greater risk of failure.
What can be done if you can't afford expensive dental work?
Q. I had a check up with my family dentist this week and I had x-rays done...
She claims I need $2,000.00 dollars worth of dental work...
I am out of work 6 years so I do not qualify for a loan or credit...
I have no money saved up cause I just spent it all on my moms funeral...
I need the work done before it becomes worse...
How do I do this?

When your kids had their very first dental appointment, what all did they have done?
Q. Just look at them and a cleaning? I'm taking my 3 yr old in very soon. We don't have any pediatric dentists in our town, so I'm taking her to a new family dentist. She doesn't have any issues with her teeth or anything that I'm aware of.
Thanks.
Thanks.
A. with my first two kids, between ages 2 & 3 they went for their first dental appointment & the family dentist counted their teeth and got them used to the idea of the dentist as a positive experience. he did a quick basic cleaning since they were reacting very well.
My youngest went last week for his first appt (also 2 years old) and he freaked out. The dentist said "well I saw he has teeth, we'll try again when he's 3" LOL. talk to the dentist or the dental office ahead of time to ask how they approach a young patients first appointment & chances are they will tell you that it's basically a case of playing it by ear to see how the child reacts.....if you don't get a good vibe about the answer ask other local parents where they take their children.
