Dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide variety of conditions, disorders, and diseases, affecting the teeth, gums, and maxillofacial (associated with the jaw and face) region of the body. General dentists provide services related to the general maintenance of oral hygiene and tooth health.
Ideally, dentistry is preventative. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit your dentist regularly (at least once every six months) to ensure proper oral hygiene and functionality. Regular checkups and oral health maintenance prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment.
Preventive Care
We recommend a visit to your dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Our team of knowledgeable dentists are committed to your oral health. We encourage our patients to attend teeth cleanings twice a year so that we can remove all plaque and stains. We’ll also perform a detailed oral health exam to check for any dental concerns.
Gum Disease
Periodontal disease is caused by plaque on the gum line that hardens into tartar and becomes infected. Over time, the infection attacks the gum tissue that is holding and protecting your teeth. This is the first stage of periodontal disease known as gingivitis, characterized by bleeding gums after brushing and flossing.
Extractions
If you are experiencing extreme sensitivity or are suffering from advanced periodontal disease, you may be required to have a tooth extracted. With a simple extraction, we can safely remove the affected tooth without the need for major surgery.
