What Exactly Is General Dentistry?

Many people may not know this, but general dentistry focuses on maintaining and improving the health of your teeth, gums, and oral health. It includes preventive care to protect against common dental issues, restorative treatments to repair damaged teeth, and solutions for ongoing oral health concerns. Our team is passionate about providing personalized care for patients of all ages!

Why Is General Dentistry Important?

General dentistry is the foundation of maintaining strong, healthy teeth and gums. It focuses on preventive care, early detection of potential issues, and restorative treatments to keep your smile in excellent shape. Here are three key reasons why general dentistry in Wilbraham is so important.

Prevention Is Key

Regular checkups keep cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay away. Plus, tackling issues early is way easier (and less stressful) than fixing them later.

Catch Problems Early

Your dentist can spot trouble before you even feel it. Early detection means fewer fixes, less time in the chair, and more money saved.

Safeguard Your Health

Your oral health impacts your whole body. A happy, healthy mouth helps protect your heart, fight off disease, and keep you feeling your best.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the general dentist?

It is generally recommended to visit a general dentist every six months for routine check-ups and professional cleanings. These regular visits are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and catching potential issues early, before they develop into more serious problems. However, the exact frequency of visits can vary depending on your individual needs and oral health condition.

During a routine visit, your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This includes checking for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns. Professional cleanings are also performed to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing may miss.

For individuals with specific conditions, such as periodontal disease or a history of frequent cavities, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits to monitor and manage your oral health effectively. Conversely, patients with excellent oral health may occasionally need less frequent appointments, as determined by their dentist.

Regular dental visits are a vital part of preventive care, helping to keep your smile healthy and reducing the need for more extensive treatments down the road. By staying consistent with dental checkups, you can enjoy a healthier, brighter smile for the long term.

Testimonial

I drive over an hour to get to my appointments but it's well worth it!

After being with Dr. Root for many years, I had a change with my insurance and switched dentists. I ended up returning to Wilbraham family dentistry because Dr. Root was exceptional by comparison. When Dr. Tsesis took over the practice, I was so happy that he provided the same exceptional service. He and The staff are also very friendly and treat you like family. So happy that I stayed with them all these years! I drive over an hour to get to my appointments but it's well worth it!
