When it comes to your family’s oral health, convenience and consistency matter. Having one trusted dentist for everyone—from toddlers to grandparents—can make a difference in maintaining healthy, happy smiles for life. That’s why Neighborhood Dental in Brandon, SD is proud to offer family dentistry that meets the needs of all ages in one convenient location.
Led by Dr. Mauri Heesch and Dr. Alex Woods, our team is committed to providing exceptional, personalized care that keeps every member of your family smiling confidently.
This February, as we celebrate Children’s Dental Health Month, it’s the perfect time to highlight the importance of family dentistry and Neighborhood Dental’s No Cavity Club—a fun way to encourage healthy habits in young patients!
1. One Dentist for the Whole Family
With a family dentist, there’s no need to juggle multiple dental offices or appointment schedules. We strive to make it easy by offering comprehensive dental care for children, teens, adults, and seniors—all under one roof. Whether it’s a child’s first dental visit, a teen’s orthodontic check-up, or routine cleanings for parents and grandparents, we provide care that grows with your family.
2. Building Long-Term Relationships & Comfort
When your entire family visits the same dentist, it fosters trust and familiarity. Kids who grow up visiting the same dental office develop positive associations with dental care, reducing anxiety and making visits easier as they grow older.
Our caring dental team takes the time to understand each patient’s unique dental history, preferences, and concerns, ensuring personalized and comfortable care at every stage of life.
3. Preventative Care & Early Detection of Issues
Routine check-ups with a family dentist help identify and prevent dental problems before they become serious. Our services include:
✓ Professional cleanings & exams to prevent cavities and gum disease
✓ Fluoride treatments & sealants for kids to protect against decay
✓ Early orthodontic assessments to monitor tooth alignment
✓ Oral cancer screenings for adults and seniors
You’re taking a proactive approach to lifelong oral health by keeping up with regular dental visits.
4. Convenience & Flexible Scheduling
Busy families need a dental office that fits their lifestyle, and as your local dentists, we strive to make scheduling easy. We understand that juggling work, school, and extracurricular activities can make finding time for dental appointments challenging. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling, including Friday availability, to accommodate your family’s needs better.
Whether it’s a back-to-back appointment for siblings, an after-school check-up, or an emergency dental visit, our goal is to make dental visits simple, convenient, and stress-free. We are also open on Fridays to accommodate to
5. Encouraging Healthy Habits with the No Cavity Club
At Neighborhood Dental, we believe that healthy habits start young. That’s why we’ve created the No Cavity Club to celebrate and encourage good oral hygiene among children.
Here’s how it works:
- To be entered into the No Cavity Club, your child must be under the age of 16.
- Our dentist will perform an exam and find no cavities for two consecutive appointments within 14 months.
- Once eligible, your child will officially join the Neighborhood Dental No Cavity Club and receive a T-shirt and a Certificate to recognize their achievement!
The No Cavity Club is a fun and motivating way to instill lifelong oral hygiene habits. It also helps children associate dental visits with positive experiences, making it easier for them to maintain their dental health as they grow.
