General family dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of the entire family. This includes preventative care, diagnosis and treatment of various dental conditions. To keep yourself on the right track, it is recommended that you see a dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning.
A dental cleaning is a preventive treatment that allows us to remove stubborn plaque on the surface of your teeth in hard-to-reach places and check to see what areas you can improve in your oral health routine. During your visit, our dentists will also look at your teeth to see if you have a cavity or other tooth-related concerns that may need to be addressed.
If you have a specific dental concern such as periodontal disease, you may need to be seen more frequently. Our dentists and team will let you know how often you should schedule appointments.
Why is it important to see a general family dentist?
A general family dentist can provide comprehensive dental care for all members of your family. They can also offer guidance on how to best take care of your teeth and gums at home. Seeing a dentist regularly can help prevent cavities, gum disease and other dental problems.
What other services does a general family dentist provide?
General family dentists not only offer cleanings and exams but they also provide:
- Preventive care (e.g., fluoride treatments, night guards)
- Diagnosis and treatment of dental conditions (e.g., cavities, gum disease)
- Orthodontic services (e.g., clear aligners)
