General Dentistry
What Do General Dentists Do?
General dentists are the primary providers of diagnostic and preventative dental care. They tend to focus on promoting oral health and hygiene to help people avoid progressive oral diseases.
If you have had a dental check-up before (we sure hope you have!), then you’ve come across a general dentist. They will usually give a thorough examination of your gums, teeth and other oral structures, a professional cleaning, and address any dental concerns that you may have. If your exam reveals any dental conditions, such as tooth decay, they will also give you a filling in the affected tooth.
However, a general dentist also provides many other services, such as:
Restorative Solutions– if your general dentist finds a problem during the dental exam, they will also give you timely and appropriate treatment. The most common restoration is probably fillings for cavities, but they can diagnose tooth pain and gum disease as well. General dentists are also your go-to if you require treatment for missing, broken or knocked-out teeth.
Cosmetic Procedures– want to achieve that dazzling smile you’ve always wanted? Your general dentist can help you with teeth whitening and even porcelain veneers.
Preventative Services– regular exams and teeth cleanings are cornerstones of oral disease prevention. Your general dentist will also give you advice on maintaining oral health at-home.
Overall Health– did you know that your oral health can affect your overall health? For example, advanced gum disease is linked to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and even pregnancy complications.
Your general dentist will be able to identify these problems and offer appropriate treatment or refer you to a specialist.
