Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry
General dentistry focuses on preventive and routine dental care to maintain overall oral health. This includes checkups, cleanings, fillings, gum disease treatment, and more. Regular visits help prevent dental issues, ensuring a strong, healthy smile for years to come.
It’s recommended to see your dentist at least twice a year for routine exams and cleanings. However, some patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, or other dental concerns may need more frequent visits. Regular checkups allow early detection of potential issues, preventing costly and complex treatments later.
Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings help:
- Remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup
- Prevent cavities and gum disease
- Keep your breath fresh and clean
- Detect early signs of dental problems
Routine cleanings play a vital role in maintaining oral and overall health.
If you experience persistent tooth pain, schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Toothaches can result from cavities, infections, or gum disease. While waiting for your visit, you can try rinsing with warm salt water, taking over-the-counter pain relievers, and avoiding extremely hot or cold foods. Early treatment can prevent further complications.
Preventing cavities starts with good oral hygiene habits, including:
- Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Flossing daily to remove plaque between teeth
- Limiting sugary foods and drinks
- Drinking plenty of water to wash away bacteria
- Regular dental checkups to catch early signs of decay
Following these steps can significantly reduce your risk of cavities and tooth decay.
Dental anxiety is common, but we strive to make your experience comfortable and stress-free. Our office provides a calming atmosphere, gentle care, and sedation options for those with severe anxiety.
