At Dream Smile City, we believe that exceptional oral care is the foundation of your overall well-being. General dentistry encompasses a broad range of diseases and disorders of the oral and maxillofacial region. For our patients, however, general dentistry is as much about prevention as it is about treatment.
Everyone should see a general dentist for routine oral health examinations, twice-yearly cleanings, and treatment of routine oral health complications, such as minor tooth decay. Patients who visit a general dentist can expect professional oral health care, as well as education and advice about self-care between office visits.
The American Dental Association recommends that every American visit a general dentist a minimum of one time every six months. Doing so can aid in the detection of decay, oral disease, and other dental health problems before they progress and become severe.
Even if you are not currently experiencing any symptoms of tooth decay or gum disease, it is important to visit your dentist for a thorough examination and cleaning. Despite daily brushing and flossing, your teeth can still accumulate tartar that can harbor bacteria. These bacteria can lead to gum disease and tooth decay if not professionally removed at your dentist’s office.
Patients who visit their dentist regularly and as recommended are more likely to retain their natural teeth and enjoy a lifetime of good oral health.
We design our routine visits to be as comfortable and informative as possible.
Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and care plan you need for a lasting smile. Based on the results of your dental check-up, your general dentist may recommend that you return for treatment or follow a special at-home oral care plan.
If you are at risk for certain complications or have a history of periodontal disease and advanced decay, you may need to visit your general dentist on a more frequent basis. You may also be referred to a dental specialist for treatment of advanced oral health conditions.
