What is offered by a General Dentist?
The role of the general dentist has changed over the years. A general dentist used to be considered a jack of all trades, but now with very specialized fields of dentistry, you may wonder what a general dentist can offer. A general dentist is going to be a trained medical professional who has gone through years of formal education and residency. This ensures that they have honed their craft and can provide safe and quality dental care to any patient who comes through their door. While there are several specialized fields of dentistry, a general dentist can treat a wide range of dental issues and provide many services. Some of these include:
- teeth cleaning
- filling cavities
- treating gum disease
- assisting with TMJ disorders
- placing dental crowns
- performing root canals
- placing dental implants
The services offered a general dentist can vary from one to another, but what is listed here is the most common.
Your partner in dental health
Your general dentist will be the first line of defense and the dental professional you encounter most often in your life. They will be the one who helps you navigate the day-to-day maintenance of your oral health and they will help make sure you are caring for your teeth and gums in a way that will ensure long-term dental health. It’s critical that you see your dentist twice a year so that any problems can be detected early and treated before they become larger problems which require more invasive treatment.
