Making Family Care Easier

At Premier Dental Care, we provide general dentistry services for all ages. As patients encounter dental problems over time, we offer cosmetic and restorative dental care for adults.

Family dentistry services that our dental health professionals offer include:

It can be difficult to coordinate dental appointments for every member of your family. However, we try our best to make it easier for everyone. We can help you choose a block of time that works for everyone.

You can all come in at the same time for your dental care, so you can make fewer trips to the dental office. We want to ensure we’re working your dental care into your schedule. Particularly for children, having a trusted family member at their appointment helps. A comforting presence in the room can keep children calm throughout their appointments.

Children can also accompany a family member to their appointment. Seeing their parent or sibling get dental care can help children realize that the dentist isn’t something to be scared of.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

In most cases, we must remove wisdom teeth to avoid oral health problems. An impacted wisdom tooth can destroy the second molar.

Wisdom teeth cause problems because the modern human mouth is too small to accommodate them. Impacted wisdom teeth can’t come in straight or move into their proper place. We can remove your wisdom teeth through oral surgery or an in-office tooth extraction.

Geriatric Dentistry

Our dentists provide personalized treatment for our patients at every stage of their lives. We tailor our restorative and cosmetic dental services for comfort. Our dentists take each patient’s overall health into account before treatment.

As you age, you may notice age-related dental issues. You must receive the appropriate treatment before more problems arise. We’ll assess your smile and provide an examination to determine the best solution for your dental needs.

For example, Dr. Naguib helps patients dealing with tooth loss by providing dental implants, bridges, or dentures. He helps patients with worn or yellowed teeth using teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, or tooth bonding. Our professionals can provide treatment for all your dental needs.

Patient Review

Every time I have come in, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Even before my first appointment, I was talking to the office staff over the phone and it felt like I was talking to a friend. The staff is so knowledgeable which immediately put my mind at ease. Everyone has been great and I appreciate the fact that they seem very honest and fair. I particularly love that you can opt in to receive text notifications about upcoming appointments. My family and I have now been longtime patients here. Thank you, Premier Dental Care

Family Dentistry FAQs

Learn more about family dentistry at our Palmdale and Lancaster dental offices by answering these common questions.

When should my child start seeing the dentist?

Your child should begin seeing the dentist before turning 1 year old or within 6 months of their first tooth erupting, whichever comes first. Pediatric oral healthcare is essential for the future of your child’s oral health.

How often should my family see the dentist?

Regardless of age, after the first childhood dental visit, everyone should visit the dentist once every six months. This allows us to observe changes in the mouth and catch problems early. We’re also able to provide a deeper level of cleaning than you can at home.

Does dental care change with age?

Somewhat. People of different ages are more susceptible to different types of dental problems. Children are prone to tooth decay, while senior adults are more likely to experience tooth loss. Regular family dentistry visits allow us to detect signs of developing problems early.

Does a root canal treatment hurt?

A root canal treatment should not hurt. The dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable during the procedure. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort, but the treatment should be painless.

After the anesthesia wears off, you might have some tenderness or sensitivity in the area. You can manage it with over-the-counter pain relievers. Any discomfort should subside within three days. Follow our dentist’s post-treatment care instructions for a smooth recovery.

Who needs dental sealants?

Dental sealants are primarily for children and teenagers. They’re most effective when the dentist applies them to newly erupted permanent molars.

However, adults without existing tooth decay or fillings on their molars can also benefit from sealants. Consult our dentist to determine if sealants are appropriate for you or your child.

At what age should oral health assessment begin?

Oral health exams should begin early in a child’s life. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association recommend that a child’s first dental visit occur within six months of the appearance of their first tooth. Your child can also have their first visit by their first birthday, whichever comes first.

This early assessment helps our dentist monitor your child’s health and development as they grow. The evaluation also provides parents with guidance on proper oral care practices to prevent future dental issues. Establish your child’s dental home at our family dental practice for the best possible care.

At what age should my child get sealants?

Children should get dental sealants around age 6 when their first molars (back teeth) come in. Sealants can also be applied when the second molars come in, usually around age 12.

Sealants work best when applied to permanent teeth as soon as they erupt. These teeth have deep grooves where food and bacteria can get stuck, making them more likely to get cavities. Sealants act like a shield, helping protect these teeth from decay.

At what age do wisdom teeth grow?

Wisdom teeth usually start growing between the ages of 17 and 25. These teeth, also called third molars, are the last adult teeth to come in.

Not everyone develops wisdom teeth, and some people may only get one or two instead of all four. In some cases, wisdom teeth grow in without any problems. However, they can sometimes cause issues if there isn’t enough room in the mouth or if they grow in at an angle.

If you notice problems with your wisdom teeth, such as pain or crowding, we may recommend removing them to help keep your other teeth healthy.
