Why families choose Dental Excellence

Common family dentistry questions

What ages do you treat?+

We see children from their first dental visit (typically age one) through teens, adults, and seniors. Multi-generational families often book back-to-back appointments to make one trip.

When should my child first see a dentist?+

By your child's first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming in, whichever is sooner. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends this "dental home" be established early, even when there are only a few teeth, early visits prevent decay and build comfort with the dental setting.

How often should we come in?+

Twice a year for most patients. Higher-risk patients, kids with active decay, adults with periodontal history, orthodontic patients, may benefit from three- or four-month visits. We tailor the recall schedule to your family's actual cavity risk, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Do you offer sealants and fluoride for kids?+

Yes, both are evidence-based preventive treatments we use as part of pediatric care. Sealants reduce cavities on permanent molars by ~80% according to CDC data; fluoride varnish reduces caries risk by ~30%.

My child has special needs, can you accommodate?+

Yes. We adapt visits to your child rather than forcing your child to adapt to us. Quiet-room scheduling, longer appointment windows, sensory accommodations, and a "tell-show-do" approach are all standard. Tell us in advance what works best.

What insurance do you accept?+

Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, MetLife, United Healthcare, and most major PPO plans. We verify benefits before treatment so there are no surprises. CareCredit financing available for treatment beyond what insurance covers.

Do you screen for airway issues in kids?+

Yes, and that's a meaningful difference. Most general dentists don't. AAOSH-trained evaluation looks at palate width, tongue posture, mouth breathing, and bite development at every pediatric visit. Catching airway concerns at age four is far easier than addressing adult sleep apnea at forty.
