What is General Dentistry?
The services that fall under general dentistry are quite a number. They include routine cleaning and checkups, diagnosis and treatment of oral conditions, and more. Moreover, general dentists provide preventive care for the gums and teeth. When potential problems are detected, they provide the necessary immediate care and develop adequate plans to avert the situation.
Their responsibilities include:
- Deposits that are found on the teeth, and also instructing the patient on how to take care of themselves to prevent dental diseases, need to be removed.
- Developing oral disease diagnosis.
- Administration of the common dental diseases that occur, like caries, periodontal disease, and fractured teeth.
- Referring to other practitioners as needed.
Core Services Offered in General Dentistry
1. Preventive Services
Preventive treatments are the primary aspect of general dentistry. It assists patients in maintaining their dental health and preventing dental issues, including cavities, gum disease, and enamel erosion.
- Dental cleaning and exams: Regular visits or checkups enable early identification of various issues. Professional cleaning aims to remove plaque and tartar that brushing cannot eliminate.
- X-Rays and Screenings: X-ray is an outstanding diagnostic tool. It can reveal issues that a clinician cannot see, such as bone loss or hidden decay.
- Fluoride treatment and sealants: These preventative measures help enhance enamel strength and protect decay-prone areas.
- Patient education: Instruction on how to brush, floss, and maintain a proper diet is offered.
2. Restorative Services
Whenever there is a need, general dentists must restore the form and function.

- Teeth whitening: Enhances the smile as part of an overall hygiene strategy.
- Bonding: Repairs and reshapes minor chips, also termed as bonding.
