What Does a General Dentist Treat?
A general dentist is a medical professional tasked with taking care of our oral health. Even though many people may feel a visit to the dentist is not the way they’d like to spend their day, the work that these highly trained and skilled professionals do is essential not only for the health of our teeth, gums, and mouth but also for our general overall health. Dentists play a key role in the early detection of oral cancer and they often identify other health conditions, illnesses, or diseases that sometimes show up in the oral cavity before being identified elsewhere in the body.
