General Dental Care Gives You Excellent Oral Health

We want your teeth to last you a lifetime. That's why Dr. Bradshaw has invested in technology and advanced treatment techniques to give you the best possible experience. For example, every patient gets digital X-rays and 3-D scans. They allow us to plan your treatments with the utmost precision.

Your dentist will discuss any next steps if you require additional treatments to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. Your checkup is also an excellent time to ask us about treatments that can help you achieve your smile goals, such as teeth whitening or Invisalign.

Dental Cleanings and Exams

We use ultrasonic scaling equipment to comfortably clean your teeth with less scraping. We'll also look for cavities, gum disease, and signs of oral cancer.

Dental Sealants

If necessary, we'll apply this preventive treatment to give your teeth an extra layer of protection from harmful bacteria and protect your smile from cavities.

Gum Disease Treatment

If you show signs of gum disease, we'll do a bacterial testing to determine its extent. Then we'll deep clean your gums to treat the infection and keep it from coming back.

Custom Mouthguards

Protect your teeth from teeth grinding with a customized bite guard. We can also fit you for a custom-made athletic mouthguard for use during sports.

What is general dentistry?

General dentistry is what we do here. We feature general dentistry solutions that will help keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking its best all through your life. This includes thorough examinations to screen for problems and to assess your teeth, gums, and mouth in general. General dentistry also includes protective measures like dental sealants and teeth cleanings to prevent dangerous plaque, tartar, and bacteria from causing disease, decay, and worse.

What foods are healthy for my teeth?

If you want a healthy smile, you'll want a diet rich in whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables, calcium, and lean proteins. Make sure you avoid sugary drinks or sticky sweets, which can damage your tooth enamel. Drink plenty of water too! This washes away bacteria from your teeth and gums.

Can I prevent cavities?

Maintaining good oral hygiene practices and seeking regular care from a general dentist will significantly reduce the risk of cavities. In addition, make sure you brush at least twice daily using fluoride toothpaste and get a dental checkup every six months. Limit the intake of sugary or acidic foods and drinks. To boost your cavity prevention, ask your dental team about fluoride treatment and dental sealants.
