Frequently Asked Questions
What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on the overall health and maintenance of your teeth, gums, and mouth. It includes preventive care like cleanings and exams, as well as restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, and extractions.
How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?
It’s recommended to see your dentist at least twice a year for routine checkups and cleanings. Some patients may need more frequent visits based on their oral health needs.
What Does a General Dentist Do During a Checkup?
During a typical checkup, your dentist will:
- Examine your teeth and gums
- Take X-rays if needed
- Perform a professional cleaning
- Check for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral issues
- Offer advice on oral hygiene and any needed treatments
What’s the Difference Between a General Dentist and a Specialist?
A general dentist handles a broad range of services for patients of all ages, including preventive and basic restorative care. Specialists like orthodontists, periodontists, or oral surgeons focus on specific areas of dental care and often require a referral from a general dentist.
Do General Dentists Treat Children?
Yes, many general dentists offer family dentistry services and treat patients of all ages, including children. However, some families may choose to see a pediatric dentist for specialized child-focused care.
Is Fluoride Treatment Necessary for Adults?
Yes, fluoride isn’t just for kids! It helps strengthen enamel and protect against decay, especially for patients prone to cavities, dry mouth, or gum disease.
What if I Have Dental Anxiety?
Many general dental offices offer solutions for dental anxiety, such as gentle techniques, sedation options, and a calm, supportive environment. Let your dentist know about your concerns—they’re there to help!
Does Insurance Cover General Dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services like exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Coverage for fillings, crowns, and other procedures varies by plan. Check with your provider or ask the dental office for help verifying benefits.
What’s the Best Way to Prevent Cavities and Gum Disease?
Consistent oral hygiene is key. Brush twice a day, floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks, and schedule regular dental visits for professional cleanings and early detection of any issues.
When Should I Replace My Toothbrush?
Replace your toothbrush (or electric brush head) every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush doesn’t clean your teeth effectively.
Can General Dentists Perform Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes, many general dentists offer cosmetic services like teeth whitening, bonding, and veneers in addition to their preventive and restorative care.
What Should I Do in a Dental Emergency?
If you experience a dental emergency like a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or broken restoration, contact your dentist right away. Many general dental offices offer same-day emergency appointments.
