Information About General Dentistry Services

Assess your overall oral health with an annual dental exam. General dentists look for signs of tooth decay, oral cancer, and other harmful issues.

Practitioners can easily diagnose dental issues with digital x-rays. These allow dentists to get a more complete view of your teeth, gums, and jaw.

It's recommended to get a dental cleaning twice each year. Practitioners eliminate tartar and plaque and then polish enamel for a brighter smile.

Once placed on molars and pre-molars, sealants block bacteria, plaque, tartar, and food particles. This protects teeth from issues such as cavities.

Fluoride is a mineral that is proven to strengthen bones and teeth. Fluoride treatments are perfect for patients who are susceptible to tooth decay.

If you have a tooth that is decayed or damaged and cannot be repaired, you may need a tooth extraction to conserve the health of your remaining teeth.

To guard your mouth against the effects of teeth grinding at night (bruxism), a general dentist creates night guards custom fit for your teeth.

Patients who have broken or chipped teeth, or teeth that have been knocked out due to an injury, should get emergency dental care as soon as possible.
