General Dentistry
When we practice general dentistry, we have goals, which include:
- Preserving your natural teeth
- Keeping your mouth healthy
- Ensuring you feeling great about your teeth
Oral health is a crucial element of a person’s well-being. Matter of fact, research shows a relationship between common mouth infections and overall health conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases. So it is essential to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Caring for teeth should start in the childhood years – this is why we want to see your child at one year of age. A toddler’s visits to our dentist is important to detect early signs of tooth decay.
Good dental care habits can be developed early, and we’ll give you tips on how to make brushing and flossing fun for kids. Children who are accustomed to regular dental visits are more likely to continue dental care as adults.
Each life stage has a corresponding specific oral health concern that should be addressed. Our Chandler dentists regularly take continuing education programs and courses to stay on top of oral health care.
General Dentistry Procedures We Perform
Here are some of the procedures we perform to make and keep teeth healthy and looking great.
Dental Cleanings
The main goal of having your teeth regularly and professionally cleaned is to keep them not only looking pretty but also healthy.
Oral Examination
As they say, prevention is better than cure. With a routine oral examination, your dentist can catch early signs of gum disease.
Dental Fillings
Tooth decay can cause pain, and if not taken care of quickly, can result in abscesses, root canals and even tooth loss. To manage this concern, the decay is removed and the tooth is restored using fillings.
Tooth Extractions
For infected teeth that cannot be saved, extraction is necessary. We make the process as pain-free as possible.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
These procedures are done to replace a lost or missing tooth so you don’t end up with a gap in your teeth.
When is the Best Time to Visit the Dentist?
Most people go to the dentist only when something is wrong. Practicing this makes you miss out on the preventive dental care procedures that can save you from a lot of expensive dental work in the future.
It is important to keep to your regular dental visit routine to prevent oral health problems from worsening. Early detection promotes timely intervention. Some people need to visit our dental office more often to manage existing issues. By keeping to a schedule of teeth cleaning every six months we can prevent serious dental problems.
Each visit will include a thorough dental assessment to check your oral health. Oral cancer screen is performed to detect early signs and teeth cleaning is essential in removing hardened food particles that can’t be removed with brushing your teeth at home.
