Preventive Care

General dentists emphasize the importance of preventive dental care to maintain

Helping you help yourself

An important part of any patient/dentist relationship is teaching you how to take proper care of your teeth – and there’s a lot more to it than just brushing a couple of times a day. We’ll put together a customized preventative oral health program for you, and show you all the steps you need to take to keep your teeth and 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.
