Why Preventative Dental Care Matters
Preventative dental care is one of the most effective ways to improve your health. Benefits of proper dental care include:
- Early problem detection: Regular dental checkups allow us to detect cavities, gum disease, and oral infections
- Oral cancer screening: Routine dental exams often include oral cancer screenings, which are critical for successful treatment
- Gum disease prevention: Preventive dental care helps to maintain healthy gums and reduce tooth loss
- Reduced medical bills: Preventive dental care allows you to address dental issues early and potentially avoid more extensive and costly treatments
- Improved overall health: Maintaining a healthy mouth can reduce the risk of diabetes, respiratory problems, heart disease, and other conditions
- Reduced dental anxiety: Regular dental visits can help you feel more comfortable at the dentist
- Better self-esteem: Clean, healthy teeth and fresh breath can boost self-confidence.

General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to your continued health, including:
Dental Fillings
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.
Dental Hygiene, Cleaning & Prevention
Preventive services — These help you maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in your mouth. Regular exams (including x-rays) and professional teeth cleaning are a cornerstone of prevention. Your general dentist may give you detailed instructions to improve your at-home oral hygiene and may also recommend preventive treatments, such as sealants if needed.
Periodontics
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease and in the placement of dental implants. They concentrate on the gums and the bones that support the teeth. According to recent studies, about one-half of adults in the US suffer from some form of gum disease.
Overall Health Concerns
Overall Health Concerns – Your oral health is a mirror of your general health. Some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of your body and vice versa. For example, untreated oral infections can lead to poorer control of diabetes, an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, and complications during pregnancy. General dentists are trained to identify these and other issues and offer appropriate treatment or referral when needed. One special concern is obstructive sleep apnea, a potentially deadly condition that can sometimes be treated with an oral appliance.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

During your initial appointment, your dentist will check for cavities and other oral health issues. We may also take X-rays if needed and discuss any necessary treatments or recommendations.
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons many people avoid going to the dentist. However, many dentists offer sedation options to help you relax during procedures. Discuss your concerns with us, and we can tailor their approach to make you more comfortable.
Yes, in addition to general dentistry, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services. These include veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers to enhance the aesthetics of your smile.

More serious gum disease may require more advanced treatment. That is why it is essential to go to your regular checkups.
