General dentistry refers to the practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing oral health issues. A general dentist is your primary dental care provider who performs routine checkups, cleanings, and various treatments to maintain and improve your oral health.
We recommend that you visit the dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and checkup. However, the frequency of visits may vary depending on your oral health needs.
During a routine checkup, your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. Your dentist may also take X-rays to check for any underlying issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. Additionally, your dentist will provide a thorough tooth cleaning to remove any plaque or tartar buildup.
Regular brushing and flossing are key to preventing cavities. You should brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes and floss at least once a day. Additionally, you should avoid sugary foods and drinks and maintain a healthy diet to prevent decay.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common oral health issue that affects the gums and bones that support the teeth. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth, leading to inflammation and infection of the gums. Symptoms may include bleeding, swelling, and receding gums, as well as bad breath and tooth loss.
