What is general dentistry?<\/h2>\n

You can think of a general dentist as like your medical primary care provider. In general dentistry, we monitor the health of your mouth through regular check-ups and examinations<\/strong> and diagnose and treat issues<\/strong> with oral health when they arise. In addition, an important part of general dentistry is empowering each patient with the knowledge they need to keep their smiles healthy. This includes information on how to properly care for teeth and gums, extensive information about any treatments that are recommended, after-care instructions when a procedure has been performed, and information for parents on how to care for their child\u2019s mouth as it develops.<\/p>\n

What are common general dentistry procedures?<\/h2>\n

The most common\u2014and arguably, the most important\u2014type of procedure in our office is a preventive care visit. In these routine visits, which are recommended every six months, we professionally clean your teeth, examine the health of your teeth and gums, check for issues such as decay or periodontitis, and screen for oral cancer. Children have unique dental needs as their teeth develop, so specialized preventive treatments such as fluoride applications or sealants may also be done at routine hygiene visits.<\/p>\n

One of the benefits of seeing your dentist regularly is that you can detect issues as soon as they begin to occur, which is when they are easiest to treat. This means that you have a higher chance of fully restoring your oral health, less time in the dental chair, and less money out of your wallet. When issues do arise, Dr. Garcia will recommend the treatment that is best suited for your mouth and is happy to discuss the pros and cons of various options so you can decide on which treatment fits your preferences the best.
