Preventive & General Dental Care
General dentistry is the foundation of all dentistry. It includes dental examination and diagnosis, with digital X-rays, which aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. It also helps your family maintain good oral hygiene through preventive treatment, oral prophylaxis, cavity fillings, fluoride application, tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, and more.
A general dentist will refer you to a specialist if needed. There are many dental specialties, such as endodontics, prosthodontics, pedodontics, periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, implantology, and oral pathology.
