What Does General Dentistry Include?
General Dentistry includes thorough Examinations of the teeth, gums and mouth on a regular, ongoing basis. An exam will typical be followed by a dental cleaning and the dentist will have a conversation with you about your dental health as well as your overall health to determine any factors that might affect your dental health. General dentistry includes preventative services to ensure any oral health issues are caught early on. This is typically done through the dental examination, as well as x-rays. Having your teeth professionally cleaned by a general dentist will help prevent future oral issues as well.
General dentistry also includes recommending preventative treatments such as sealants and custom fit mouth guards. General dentistry isn't just limited to preventative services, it includes restorative treatments such as fillings, tooth pain, gum disease and other services depending on their training. Always check with your dentist on the services they are able to provide at their office.
