Common Questions About General Dentistry

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.
