General Dentistry

General Dentistry

The first area of dental treatment is general dentistry. This area of dentistry is focused on ensuring that you have good oral hygiene and dental health. General Dentistry ensures that you do not have any issues such as cavities or gum disease. It covers a wide range of treatments and takes a look at your overall dental health and needs. General dentistry also use restorative procedures to repair the effects of tooth decay, trauma, defect or disease in different areas of the mouth.

What Exactly Is General Dentistry?

General dentistry is the branch of dental medicine involving the care and prevention of oral health conditions, diseases and disorders. A dentist’s job is to use preventative care and patient education to preclude the need for treatments and instead promote a healthy smile for life.  Dentists are also responsible for diagnosing conditions that affect the mouth, teeth, gums and jaws, as well as develop the most effective treatment plan with the patient’s best interests in mind.

We provide each patient with a treatment plan based on the results of your routine exam. Your personal treatment plan is a road map to your dental health. It lists any details of treatments required and the prices involved. All of pricing inside and outside of general dentistry is transparent and honest. We want our patients to know exactly what they need to plan for financially.

This procedure involves removing all the pulp in the pulp chamber temporarily for the sake of pain relief. Pulpectomy is typically called for when pulpotomy isn’t an option and all of the tooth’s pulp has become infected, inflamed, and disease-ridden. After removal, the canals are medicated and cleaned.

 

Sometimes, dentists do pulpectomy on primary or milk teeth. In such cases, the pulp is replaced with resorbable material. This is the recommended course of action for irreversible pulpitis on redicular and coronal pulp as well as primary molars that are abscessed.
