General dentistry is a broad term that refers to the preventive and restorative care of the teeth and mouth. This includes everything from regular cleanings and check-ups to more complex procedures such as fillings, crowns, and extractions.

One of the important parts of general dentistry is preventive care, which is designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy and prevent issues from developing in the first place. This includes regular check-ups and cleanings, which help to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Your general dentist will also provide you with guidance on how to maintain good oral hygiene at home, including the proper techniques for brushing and flossing.

If you do develop a problem with your teeth or gums, your general dentist will be able to provide you with the necessary treatment to restore your oral health. This may include procedures such as fillings (bonding) , which are used to repair cavities, or crowns, which are used to cover damaged or decayed teeth. In some cases, you may need to extract a tooth that is too damaged to be saved.

General dentistry also includes more specialized procedures such as root canals and gum surgery. A root canal is a treatment that is used to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, while gum surgery is used to repair damaged or diseased gum tissue. Both of these procedures are typically performed by a general dentist, although they may be referred to a specialist if necessary.

General dentistry is an essential component of maintaining good oral health. By visiting your general dentist regularly and following their recommendations for preventive care, you can help to keep your teeth and gums healthy and avoid more serious problems down the road. If you're in need of general dental care, please call our office as soon as possible to address the issues promptly.
