The Basics

What Is General & Family Dentistry?

General and family dentistry is the everyday care that keeps your whole family healthy, from routine checkups and cleanings to fillings, gum care, and treatment for kids and adults alike. It is the foundation that prevents bigger problems before they start.

A family dentist is one trusted dental home for every age and stage, which means fewer referrals, more consistent care, and a team that knows your family over time.

Your Questions

General & Family Dentistry Questions, Answered

What is the difference between a general dentist and a family dentist?
A general dentist treats adults, while a family dentist treats patients of every age in one practice. Albert Dental provides exams, cleanings, fillings, gum care, and children’s dentistry for the whole family at two Johnson County offices, so parents and kids can be seen in a single visit.
How often should you go to the dentist for a cleaning?
Most patients should have a professional cleaning and exam every six months. Patients with gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or certain health conditions may need cleanings every three to four months. At Albert Dental, your hygienist will recommend a schedule based on your gum health rather than a one size fits all rule.
At what age should a child first see a dentist?
A child should see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits catch decay before it spreads and help kids feel comfortable in the chair. Albert Dental welcomes infants, toddlers, and teens at both our Overland Park and Olathe offices.
What happens during a routine dental exam?
A routine exam includes a professional cleaning, digital X-rays when needed, an oral cancer screening, and a tooth by tooth check for decay, worn fillings, and gum disease. Most visits take under an hour. Your dentist at Albert Dental then reviews the findings with you before any treatment is planned.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Modern digital X-rays use up to 90 percent less radiation than older film X-rays, and a full set exposes you to less radiation than a short airplane flight. Albert Dental uses digital sensors and protective aprons, and X-rays are only taken when they are diagnostically necessary.
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
A routine cleaning should not hurt. You may feel light pressure or brief sensitivity where tartar has built up along the gumline. If your gums are tender, your hygienist can numb the area and adjust the pace. Tell the team at Albert Dental about any sensitivity and they will keep you comfortable.
Can my whole family be seen on the same day?
Yes. Albert Dental schedules back to back and side by side appointments so parents and children can complete exams and cleanings in one trip. We are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Call our Overland Park office at (913) 948-9488 or Olathe at (913) 247-1315 to book family block appointments.
Do you accept new patients and same day appointments?
Yes. Albert Dental accepts new patients of all ages and reserves time each day for same day and emergency visits at both locations. We are open seven days a week. Call (913) 948-9488 for Overland Park or (913) 247-1315 for Olathe, and most new patients are seen within 24 hours.
