I’ve usually felt very nervous while going to a dentist, but here I don’t because they talk you through everything to have a better idea of what to expect and understand what will happen in your future appointments.

Common Questions About General Dentistry
General dentistry covers basic dental services that are designed to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth clean, and your smile bright. It includes dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, and preventive care like fluoride treatments and tooth sealants. Regular general dental care will help you avoid more extensive dental work in the future.
Foods that are good for your body also tend to be good for your teeth. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and calcium-rich foods like cheese. With their high water and fiber content, some fruits and veggies work almost like a toothbrush to clean plaque from teeth. Nuts are a great snack, as they contain minerals that help strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to cavities.
Good oral hygiene and regular care from a general dentist go a long way toward preventing cavities. Brush at least twice a day with a toothpaste that contains fluoride, and see us every six months for an exam and cleaning. It’s also a good idea to limit your consumption of sugary or highly acidic foods ad drinks. For added protection against cavities, ask your dental team about treatment with fluoride and/or dental sealants.
You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It’s also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.
