What is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry in Wilmington, Delaware encompasses a wide range of essential services aimed at maintaining and improving the oral health of patients of all ages. While regular oral exams and cleanings are fundamental to preventing dental issues, other treatments, such as periodontics and orthodontics, are also important aspects of comprehensive family dentistry.
Regular dental care is essential for maintaining a healthy, bright smile. At our practice, we recommend twice-yearly cleanings and exams to catch oral issues like tooth decay, gingivitis, and gum disease early on. During these visits, we’ll remove plaque and bacteria, examine your mouth for any signs of problems, and offer fluoride treatments to strengthen your enamel. We also provide dental sealants to prevent decay, especially in children, and we’ll discuss the best schedule for these preventive treatments.
If we detect tooth decay, we offer minimally invasive treatments, such as tooth-colored fillings, to restore your teeth. For more severe cases, we can perform root canals to save the tooth’s structure, followed by a dental crown for functionality. In some situations, extractions are necessary, but our advanced technology ensures that the process is quick, painless, and followed by natural-looking tooth replacement options.
Our practice also stands out by offering orthodontic treatments, so you don’t need to be referred elsewhere for teeth straightening. We’re committed to stopping gum disease in its tracks with our comprehensive perio treatments, ensuring your smile stays healthy from every angle. From prevention to advanced care, we’re here to support your oral health every step of the way.
How Dentistry Benefits You
Having a family dentist you like and trust benefits you and your family in many ways. Unfortunately, many dentists care only about profit, so they get you in and out of the door as soon as possible. Unlike those practices, Dr. Goodling wants to get to know you. We promise to always treat our patients and their families with respect and kindness while helping them achieve the smile of their dreams.
Here are just a few of the benefits of family dentistry:
- Dental care is easier when the whole family goes to the same dentist.
- Your family dentist gets a comprehensive picture of the family’s oral health and medical history.
- Family dentists are versatile; most dental treatments can be done in one location.
- You get to know the staff, and the team understands your family.
- Your dentist and his team will keep you to an exam and treatment schedule, eliminating the pressure of remembering what treatment is due next.
- Parents can set an excellent example for their children by emphasizing how critical dental care is starting from a very young age.

“Today was my first visit at Dr. Goodling’s office. The staff and dentist were absolutely amazing. I had a bad experience at my last dentist, which caused me to not search for a new dentist until I ended up in pain. This dentist took all of my anxieties away immediately. The staff were compassionate, listened and answered questions without feeling rushed. I am so glad to finally find a great place like this.”
