General dentistry involves several treatment options and procedures that are important for protecting and maintaining a good standard of oral health. This procedure is done to keep your mouth, teeth, and gums healthy and free of pain. Our general dentists provide the following services:
Our dentists can provide cosmetic treatments to improve the aesthetics of a patient’s smile. Bonding, veneers, and crowns are cosmetic tooth restorations that give patients a smile they are confident sharing with the world.
Preventive dental treatment is important to help the patient look after their oral health and prevent diseases before they become problematic. Tooth loss is often caused by decay and gum disease, which can be prevented with the right treatment. Preventive treatment services include regular examinations and hygiene therapy. They also involve professional cleaning and polishing.
Tooth Extraction
A general dentist can perform a quick and painless session when a tooth needs to be removed entirely from your mouth. However, most dentists will only remove your tooth when it is inevitable to do so. The dentist can then replace your tooth with a dental prosthesis like a crown, bridge, or implant.
Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry involves the examination and management of dental health in children. Children must have their milk teeth regularly checked by pediatric dentists for tooth decay and caries. The following are some of the conditions that are likely to be identified by a pediatric dentist:
Misaligned Or Malocclusion Teeth
A malocclusion is when the teeth of the upper and lower jaws do not meet when the jaws are closed together. This can result in speaking and eating problems, as well as injuries or pain to the insides of the mouth, gums, and tongue when biting. Pediatric dentists usually use braces to address the problem of poorly aligned teeth.
Dental Caries And Tooth Decay
It is essential to maintain milk teeth well even if they will be shed to be replaced by permanent teeth. A child can easily suffer tooth decay and cavities that can expose the inner dental pulp to bacteria and cause toothaches. Children are prone to tooth decay and dental plaque because they are more likely to eat sticky, sugary foods and fail to maintain their dental hygiene. It is, therefore, possible for a pediatric dentist to identify tooth decay even in toddlers.
Teething problems
If an infant’s teething is delayed, you should consult a pediatric dentist. The developing jaws and teeth should be appropriate for introducing the infant to solid foods. Timely and good teeth eruption is also important for appropriate speech development.
