General Dental Services

Routine care along with good oral hygiene habits is essential for maintaining good oral health. General dentistry provides services that help enhance daily care. Most dental professionals recommend an office visit every six months for a checkup on your oral health. A routine visit may include x-rays, cleanings and a thorough examination to check for potential problems.

Early intervention can minimize the negative effects of cavities and gum disease. Regular visits to the dentist can prevent these from occurring. Dentists may also perform fillings and sealants and offer other preventative treatment options as part of routine treatment.
