General dentistry covers a wide range of treatments that help maintain your oral health, including routine dental check-ups, hygiene appointments, fillings, tooth extractions, gum care, preventive treatments, and advice on keeping your teeth and gums healthy.

Most patients should have a dental check-up every six months. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits depending on your oral health, risk of tooth decay, or history of gum disease.

Routine dental examinations allow your dentist to identify problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, worn teeth, or oral infections at an early stage. Early diagnosis often means treatment is simpler, less invasive, and more cost-effective.

During your appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, assess your overall oral health, check for signs of decay or gum disease, and discuss any concerns you may have. If needed, X-rays or additional treatments may be recommended.
