We love your teeth, too! In fact, there\u2019s so much to know about caring for your oral health that dentistry has quite a few categories of specialties and different kinds of dentists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary dentist in your life should be your family dentist, also known as a general dentist. Your family dentist is whom you will see most often for dental check-ups. But how exactly is family dentistry different from other kinds of dentistry? <a href=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/about-us\/\">Dr. Todd<\/a> in Cypress shares more below about family dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"249\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-16-at-11.45.58-AM.png\" alt=\"Family Dentistry\" class=\"wp-image-123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-16-at-11.45.58-AM.png 249w, https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-16-at-11.45.58-AM-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<br>\n\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Types of Dentistry<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All dentists have an undergraduate degree and then go on to about four years of dental school. This earns them either a doctorate of dental medicine (DMD) or doctorate of dental surgery (DDS). To become more specialized, the dentist will need additional education and clinical experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>General Dentist<\/strong>: A family dentist is a general dentist. They treat patients of all ages and offer a broad range of services from fillings to screening for oral cancer.<\/li><li><strong>Endodontist<\/strong>: They focus on the soft, inner layers of the teeth.

Here are just a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Convenience<\/strong>: Family dentists have regular office hours and can treat your whole family in one day.
