General Destistry
General Dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the overall maintenance of oral health. It includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and mouth.
Typical services in general dentistry include:
- Routine check-ups and cleanings
- Dental X-rays for diagnostics
- Cavity treatment (fillings)
- Tooth extractions
- Preventive care like fluoride treatments and sealants
- Gum disease treatment (periodontal care)
- Oral health education and counseling
A general dentist is often the primary dental care provider — the one you see regularly for your dental health and who refers you to specialists (like orthodontists or oral surgeons) if needed.
In short, General Dentistry is all about keeping your mouth healthy and catching problems early.
