Think of all the medical doctors you may need to see in order to keep your family healthy. There\u2019s the pediatrician for your children, an OBGYN for mom, a specialist in sports medicine for the athlete in your family who worked out a little too hard last weekend, and the list can go on and on. Wouldn\u2019t it be convenient if you could find all of the dental care your family needs under one roof? Well, you can. Dr. David M. Weinman and his team of dental hygienists and dental assistants in Westfield, NJ, serve patients of all ages with comprehensive general dentistry<\/a> services.

Your 07090 Family Dentist<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with the kiddos. As a proud father of four children himself, Dr. Weinman knows personally what\u2019s required to keep your kids health in tip-top shape. And, well, he loves kids, too. When you bring your children to see Dr. Weinman, you can count on him to be patient and professional, with an added dose of good humor and fun. We want your children to have pleasant memories of seeing Dr. Weinman, not only so they won\u2019t give you any trouble about coming to see us (although we know that doesn\u2019t hurt!), but also so they\u2019ll establish good oral health care habits for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n

For you and your children, we recommend scheduling a dental cleaning and exam once every six months. Your Westfield general dentist wants to keep close tabs on the health or your teeth and gums, and with these periodically scheduled appointments we can do just that. These visits are not just for cleanings. Rather, they give us the opportunity to spot and treat problems before they get out of hand.<\/p>\n

As a result of these checkups, we can recommend services to help you maintain your best oral health. For example, if we notice that some of your teeth are unusually worn\u2014or if you tell us about a sore jaw or frequent headaches\u2014then we might prescribe a nightguard to stop nighttime bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching. A nightguard is a comfortable plastic oral appliance that is custom designed for your mouth and bite. Worn regularly, it can help alleviate the symptoms of bruxism and save your teeth from further wear and tear.<\/p>\n
