gums in shape.
From proper brushing and flossing techniques to tips on what to look for in a toothbrush (soft bristles!) to
instructions on foods you should avoid, we will set you up with the information you need to take care of your
teeth – and maintain a healthy smile for life.
Treatment
General dentists provide a variety of treatments to address dental problems such as fillings, dental crowns and bridges for damaged teeth, root canals for infected teeth, and extractions when necessary.
Oral Hygiene Education
General dentists educate patients about proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing techniques, and provide advice on maintaining good oral health at home.
Emergency Care
General dentists are often available for dental emergencies, such as toothaches, broken teeth, or dental trauma. They can provide immediate relief and treatment as needed.
Referrals
If a patient requires specialized dental care, such as orthodontics, oral surgery, or periodontal treatment, a general dentist may refer them to a specialist.
General dentistry plays a critical role in maintaining and promoting oral health for individuals and communities. Regular visits to a general dentist are essential for the early detection and prevention of dental issues, which can help avoid more complex and costly treatments in the future.
