General Dentistry for You and Your Family

When you choose your dentist, you want someone that you can trust to keep your mouth happy and healthy for the rest of your life. Many of us do not know what to expect when we are choosing a new dentist. We may get overwhelmed because of all of the different dentists in the area. Our dentist is one of the doctors in our lives that we see much more than any other. 

 

We see our dentist for more regular visits than any other doctors that we may have. This is because dentists are here to give us ways to prevent gum disease and other infections in the gums and mouth. Dentists help us to learn how to take care of our mouths better to keep our teeth and gums happy and healthy. 

 

Dentists are well educated in how we can keep our mouths clean and healthy. No matter what type of condition your mouth is in, your family dentist is to provide you with the best care possible. Dentists are trained to see any signs of gum disease and help you to prevent them before they even start. The right dentist can help your family to have the healthiest teeth and gums that you have ever imagined. 

What are some things that you can expect when you book an appointment with your family dentist? Here are just a few:

 

• At your first visit, you will receive x-rays on your mouth. This is one of the ways that your dentist can get a good picture of what is happening in your mouth. They have other methods of looking at your mouth, but x-rays are generally done first.

• The next step in your visit will be a full look into your mouth. They will look deeper into your gums and check to see how you take care of your mouth. 

• Your new family dentist will give you any information that you may need on cavities, signs of gum disease, sensitive teeth, and wear on your enamel. They will also tell you how you can handle these diseases before they even start.  

• If you have gone to the dentist to get a cavity filled or a root canal, they will walk you through the steps that they will complete. They will take care of the affected area and your mouth will start to feel better in no time at all!
