General Dentistry

General dentistry includes a comprehensive range of dental services that aim to preserve the patient's natural teeth and maintain their oral health. A general dentist provides preventive care for the teeth, gums, and jaw and can also help identify or relieve the symptoms of other general health issues linked to dental problems like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. 

General dentistry acts as the first line of defense against most dental problems. By visiting About Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry every six months for teeth exams and cleanings, we can detect any problems during their initial stages when they're easier to resolve. 

General Dentistry Services at About Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental cleanings:  Even if we regularly brush and floss at home, there is no substitute for professionally removing dental plaque and tartar from the teeth and beneath the gum line at a dental office. 

Dental Sealants: During the general dental checkups at our dental office, we suggest our patients apply dental sealants if their teeth are prone to cavities. Sealants are plastic coatings that are filled in the tiny grooves in back teeth to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and plaque. 

Fluoride: Fluoride is known to strengthen the teeth and make them resistant to decay when incorporated into the teeth' mineral structure. If we feel that you do not get enough fluoride from your toothpaste and drinking water, we apply it directly to your teeth. 

Mouthguards: Athletic Mouthguards are helpful for those who are actively involved in contact sports. It absorbs and distributes the forces of impact and minimizes injury to the teeth and the gums in case of external trauma. 

Oral Cancer Screenings: We look for the signs of oral cancer, like any unusual growth or lesions, and help detect it in its initial stages.

X-Rays: We use diagnostic methods like dental X-rays to detect invisible dental concerns and provide suitable treatments.
