Why Do I Need General Dentistry?
Prevention Today, Protection for Tomorrow
General dentistry is essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing serious dental issues. Regular checkups and cleanings help detect problems like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer early—often before symptoms arise. These visits also protect your overall health, as untreated oral issues can affect other parts of the body.
Preventive care, such as plaque removal and fluoride treatments, helps keep your teeth strong and your gums healthy. You’ll also receive personalized tips to improve your at-home routine. Even if everything feels fine, routine visits are key to avoiding more complex and costly treatments later on.
