care for the whole family
Family dentistry is exactly what it sounds like! Family dentists are general dentists who treat patients of all ages. While some general dentists prefer to treat adults, a family dentist sees infants, toddlers, older kids, teenagers, young adults, middle-aged individuals, and seniors.
This means that family dentists like Dr. Tuttle can treat your entire family under one roof at Tuttle Family Dentistry. To learn more, contact us online and schedule a consultation with a Colorado Springs family dentist right away.
The biggest benefit of family dentistry is convenience. You, your kids, and even other members of your extended family can all see the same dentist. This makes it easier for you to schedule appointments and get the treatment you and your family need for a healthy mouth.
Family dentists also offer a wide variety of dental services, often including treatments that pediatric dentists don’t provide, such as dental implants for replacing missing teeth, and periodontal care for gum disease.
In addition, family dentists provide a variety of children’s dentistry services that ensure your child’s teeth remain healthy.
Preventive care is important for patients of all ages, but especially for kids who may be more prone to eating sugar and developing cavities. We offer six-month teeth cleanings and oral exams, as well as additional preventive treatments like dental sealants and fluoride treatments to fight back against tooth decay and keep your little one’s teeth healthy.
We offer a variety of orthodontic services for kids. This includes space maintainers, which are used to maintain the proper gap in your child’s smile if they lose a baby tooth too early. We also provide Invisalign treatment for older kids and teens as an alternative to traditional braces.
Accidents happen, and so do cavities. If your child has a cavity, or they break a tooth while playing, eating a piece of food, or participating in sports, Dr. Tuttle is standing by to help. We offer restorative dentistry like fillings, crowns, and even root canals for kids. If your little one has a painful, decayed, or damaged tooth, our team is standing by to assist you with restorative care in Colorado Springs.
At our office, we specialize in dental sedation for kids. With both nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and pill-based oral sedation available, we can provide your child with the dental care they need in a relaxing, comfortable, and safe environment.
Whether your child is anxious about dentistry, or simply is nervous about an upcoming procedure like a filling, we understand. We cater to kids, and along with gentle, child-friendly dental care and sedation options to help allow your little one to relax and feel better about their next visit to Tuttle Family Dentistry.
