What is General and Preventive Dentistry?

General and preventive dentistry together form the cornerstone of good oral health. Think of it as a comprehensive approach to providing comprehensive dental care that keeps your smile healthy, functional, and looking its best throughout your life.

• General dentistry is the primary dental care for patients of all ages. It focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and mouth.
• Preventive dentistry, as the name suggests, focuses on preventing oral health problems before they even start or worsen. It’s a proactive approach designed to maintain good oral hygiene and reduce the risk of common dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear.
• Cosmetic dentistry, including treatments like teeth whitening, enhances the appearance of your smile, giving you added confidence and a brighter look.

Our General and Preventive Dental Services

Dental Cleanings & Exams

Regular teeth cleanings and exams are fundamental to maintaining a healthy smile. Even patients who brush their teeth twice daily may still experience lingering plaque and tartar. This harmful bacteria is only removable with professional dental tools. We’ll also check your teeth and gums for any signs of underlying oral health problems that might not be noticeable to the naked eye. If we detect any signs or issues, Dr. Dadon-Harris will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to get your oral health back on track.

Tooth Extractions

In cases of irreparable damage or severe decay, our general dentist may have to perform a tooth extraction for the good of your oral health. This quick, painless process can be completed in one visit and is only recommended if all other options are deemed ineffective. Dr. Dadon-Harris will discuss your tooth replacement options at your initial consultation to keep your smile complete and looking beautiful. We perform both simple and surgical extractions for your convenience.

Benefits of Regular Dental Care

Here are some key benefits of prioritizing regular dental visits:

• Early Detection of Dental Issues: Many dental problems, such as cavities or gum disease, begin subtly and can progress without noticeable symptoms. Regular checkups allow your dentist to spot these issues in their earliest stages, when it’s easier, less invasive, and less costly to treat.
• Prevention of Cavities and Gum Disease: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing might miss. By eliminating them regularly, you significantly reduce your risk of developing cavities and prevent gum disease from progressing to more severe forms like periodontitis.
• Improved Overall Health: Your oral health is intrinsically linked to general health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to chronic inflammation and infections in the mouth, which have been associated with systemic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and even certain types of cancer. 
• Fresher Breath and Brighter Smile: Removing bacterial buildup also helps to combat bad breath (halitosis), giving you a fresher mouth and more confidence in social situations.
