A general dentist is a person who provides preventative and restorative care for adults and children of all ages. General dentists are specially trained to provide a wide array of dental services, including examinations, diagnosis and treatments of oral conditions such as decay, gum diseases, tooth loss, infections, and misalignment of teeth. They can also provide general advice and guidance regarding the care of one’s teeth and oral hygiene. General dentists focus on prevention, early detection, and minimally invasive treatment of dental problems. With preventative care, general dentists can help patients avoid more serious problems later on. They screen patients for potential issues like decay, gum disease, and other dental problems that can normally go unnoticed. General dentists also help patients with their oral hygiene habits and offer general advice about proper oral care. In addition to preventive care, general dentists provide fillings and other restorative treatments when needed. They can also provide dental treatments like crowns, bridges, root canals, and tooth extractions. Other dental treatments available include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and various types of orthodontic treatments. General dentists typically work closely with other specialists in the field and can refer patients to appropriate specialists when needed. A strong relationship exists between general dentists and other providers in the field, allowing them to work together to provide the highest level of care for their patients. General dentists have a very important role to play in keeping your family’s smile healthy and beautiful. With regular check-ups, preventive care, and knowledgeable advice, general dentists can help you protect your oral health and prevent more serious problems from developing. You can trust that your general dentist will provide the highest quality of care and treatments while keeping your comfort and satisfaction in mind.
