General dentistry and routine care focus on maintaining optimal oral health through preventive measures and addressing common dental problems. Routine care includes regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and preventive treatments like fluoride applications, aiming to prevent and detect issues early. This also encompasses educating patients on proper oral hygiene techniques and dietary habits to support their overall oral well-being. 

Key aspects of General Dentistry and Routine Care

Regular Dental Check-ups

• These are typically recommended every six months and involve a comprehensive examination of teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. 

Professional Cleanings

• Removing plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. 

Preventive Treatments

• Fluoride Applications: Strengthening tooth enamel to resist decay. 
• Dental Sealants: Applying a protective coating to the chewing surfaces of teeth, particularly in children, to prevent cavities.
• Oral Hygiene Education: Providing guidance on brushing, flossing, and other techniques to maintain a healthy mouth.
