People who say they are “going to the dentist,” typically mean their bi-annual exam and cleaning. However, many services are offered at dental offices. These procedures can range in what they accomplish, including helping whiten or strengthen teeth, along with fixing cavities and helping to avoid tooth loss.

General dentistry services help in keeping patients’ teeth and mouths in the best shape possible and avoid any issues that could lead to gum disease, tooth loss and cavities. These are vital for keeping teeth in their best shape possible, as well as maintaining a beautiful, bright white smile.

We will look at common general dentistry services and how they can benefit your oral and general health.

A typical day in the average American household includes many things: soccer games, determining what to cook (or pick up) for lunch or dinner, carpools, dance lessons, after-school events, school board conferences and the list goes on.

It’s remarkable how we manage to be everywhere at once and not explode from the pressure. On top of everything else, families have to make sure that everyone is up to date with the dentist, doctor, orthodontist and other appointments (not including the randomly broken bones or chipped teeth from a soccer game or bike riding accident).

Selecting a family dentist could be the solution to this dilemma: the family can go to one dentist for all the family’s dental needs.
