General Dentistry

Your general dentist is the primary dental health care provider for patients of all ages and backgrounds. We can treat you and your entire family and care for your oral health. This is crucial to your overall health.

Why is general dentistry important?

We see our role as a general dentist as one of the key services we offer. We focus on preventative dentistry and recommend six-monthly check-ups. This helps us stay ahead of any dental problems before they start to become more serious. We would rather help you avoid issues with your oral health than treat them.

Keep it clean!

One of the most important areas we can help you with is to clean the teeth and keep them healthy. Teeth that have been properly cleaned help to prevent more serious problems in the mouth like cavities and gum disease.

Dental health and overall health

Good general dentist care is often the first step towards a healthy life. There is a strong relationship between healthy teeth and other health factors. We can detect different forms of mouth cancer while they are still in the early treatable stages. We can also detect some neurological disorders that manifest in the jaw. There are even situations where the health of the teeth and gums can actually reduce the risk for a stroke. Catching these conditions early is something that can only be done by a trained general dentist who knows what to look for.
