What is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the first line of defense in oral healthcare. It’s all about maintaining teeth and gums to prevent and treat common conditions. Think of it as your regular check-up or annual physical but for your mouth. General dentistry covers everything from routine cleanings and exams to filling cavities and even simple tooth extractions. We aim to help you maintain optimal oral health through preventive care, early detection, and timely treatment.
Routine Cleanings and Examinations
At Sky Family Dental, we recommend scheduling a check-up and cleaning every six months. Why so frequently, you might ask? Regular visits help us spot potential issues before they become big problems. During your examination, our skilled dentists will check for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues. We’ll also perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar build-up that you can’t eliminate with at-home brushing and flossing.
Our cleanings are thorough yet gentle. We ensure you leave our office with a cleaner mouth and a brighter, more confident smile. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about that slick, fresh-from-the-dentist feel!
Preventive Care
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and this couldn’t be truer regarding your dental health. At Sky Family Dental, we place a high emphasis on preventive care. Fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and patient education are all part of our proactive strategy to help you avoid dental problems.
Fluoride treatments strengthen your teeth and make them more resistant to decay. At the same time, dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially for younger patients who might have difficulty reaching every nook and cranny with their toothbrush.
Of course, we’re always available to guide you through proper brushing and flossing techniques so you can take excellent care of your teeth at home.
Fillings and Restorations
Even with the best preventive care, cavities can happen. We can restore your teeth to full function and appearance when they do. Our dental team uses the latest materials and techniques to fill cavities, ensuring your teeth look natural and strong. Gone are the days of noticeable metal fillings; today, we use tooth-colored composite resins that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
But that’s not all. If you need a more extensive restoration, like a crown, we’re here for that, too. Crowns are like caps that go over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Whether it’s due to decay, a crack, or after a root canal, we craft crowns that fit perfectly and look just like your natural teeth.
