What is Family Dentistry
When you choose a family dentist, you’re choosing a practice that will be able to address the oral health of you and your children, at every stage of life. Family dentists are quite similar to general dentists, but typically have more experience working with children.

Dr. Ferradas, DDS and Second City Dental is a locally owned private practice with extensive experience in treating families. During the past 80 years our office has provided dental care for up to 4 generations of South Bay families.

Establishing Healthy Family Habits
Recent scientific studies show that good oral conditions affect our total health. Exposing children early to proper dental care can help them to establish healthy habits and benefit them for the rest of their lives. That is why it is important to utilize family dentistry to maintain oral health.

Family dentistry offers many restorative procedures. One restorative procedure is the removal of tooth decay with the use of dental fillings to prevent more serious conditions from developing. It is much easier and less expensive to eliminate decay when it is small rather than letting it progress deeper into the tooth. Cosmetic dentistry can be used to correct imperfections in the mouth.

A family dentist can treat young children, teens, adults, and the elderly, and provide proper oral care during every stage of life. By choosing a family dentist like Dr. Ferradas, you’ll be able to build a long-term relationship with your dentist, and establish healthy habits for your entire family.
