Definition
What does general dentistry include?
General dentistry encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common oral health conditions for patients of all ages.
Regular professional cleaning (scaling) removes hardened tartar that cannot be removed by brushing, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Early detection of cavities, cracks, and gum inflammation during routine check-ups allows for simpler, less invasive treatment.
Fluoride application, pit-and-fissure sealants, and oral hygiene instruction are key preventive tools offered at Dr. Beauty Dental Hospital.
