A family dentist can help make life less hectic by offering complete dental care for adults and children. This way, you and your family can get the dental care that you need under one roof and with just one stop. Find out what our family dentist in Okemos, Dr. Christine Tenaglia, offers and see what choosing a family dentist for you means for you.
Dental Care for All Ages
At Tenaglia Smiles, we offer dental services for patients of all ages. The American Dental Association recommends that everyone, even children, visit the dentist twice a year for cleanings and checkups to reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease. The purpose of these twice-yearly cleanings is to remove tartar buildup and include a comprehensive exam to check for any changes, like cavities or gum disease, in your oral health. For children, Dr. Tenaglia monitors their dental development, identifying any issues with their tooth eruption or alignment, as well as their overall oral health. Dr. Tenaglia also offers sealants and fluoride treatments for children to help guard their teeth against cavities. Offering services for both children and adults means that parents and care givers can visit one dental office to receive care for their family.
Our caring staff is accustomed to providing care for children of various ages, so children will feel comfortable during their appointment. As you and your family’s oral health needs change, Dr. Tenaglia’s services grow with those changing needs. Dr. Tenaglia offers Invisalign orthodontics, suitable for teens and adults as a way to straighten teeth without metal braces. Teens prefer Invisalign instead of traditional braces because the clear aligners are hardly noticeable and can be removed for special occasions or when eating so that there are no dietary restrictions.
Dr. Tenaglia also offers sleep apnea screenings in which she assesses the airway to evaluate airflow. This is essential for children as they grow because a blocked airway, from enlarged tonsils and adenoids or other soft tissue blockages, could hinder a child’s development and cause behavioral issues as they lack sufficient, quality sleep. Therefore, having this service at your disposal is an essential part of your child’s growth and development because the sooner an airway issue is addressed, the better the results for your child.
For parents and guardians, you can be rest assured that your child(ren) receive the same quality care that you receive. Tenaglia Smiles is well equipped to offer preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dental care to adults and children. Our flexible scheduling allows you to book appointments for your family at the same time or back-to-back so that you only need to make one trip to our office when receiving most dental services. (Treatments that take multiple steps to complete may require additional separate visits.) Families appreciate the ease of booking their appointments with Tenaglia Smiles and that they can receive care for their entire family under one roof.
