General dentistry includes prevention and treatments for oral problems, ensuring the health of your oral cavity. Our dentists thoroughly assess your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan accordingly.
What’s Included in General Dentistry at Our Clinic?
- Caries Susceptibility Test: Identifying hidden caries is challenging during clinical examinations. To overcome this, we conduct a caries susceptibility test to evaluate contributing factors and effectively prevent future caries.
- Routine Tooth Extractions: To maintain oral health, extraction may be necessary for severely decayed or mobile teeth that cannot be splinted.
- Periodontal Treatment: Good oral hygiene extends beyond healthy teeth; it also involves maintaining healthy gums. Pathogenic bacteria can cause inflammation, tooth decay, and gum problems. Periodontal treatment effectively addresses gingivitis, a common issue.
- Advantage Arrest: This preventive measure halts caries progression early in high-risk individuals.
- Perio Protect: Our dental team prioritizes treating gum-related issues, recognizing their significance for overall oral health.
- Oral Cancer Screenings: Regular screenings detect and monitor oral cancer signs, enabling early intervention and prevention of complications.
- Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments: We utilize advanced techniques, such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments, to prevent early-stage caries.
- Scaling & Prevention: Regular teeth cleaning helps prevent plaque buildup and gum problems from developing.
- Routine Tooth Checkups: Experts recommend a comprehensive examination, including checks for caries, gum issues, and suspicious pathologies, every 6-12 months.
