General dentistry is the branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of common dental problems that affect the hard and soft tissues of the mouth. This field of dentistry includes a wide range of services that are designed to maintain and improve the overall health of the teeth and gums.
General dentists provide a variety of basic and complex dental treatments like scaling and polishing, tooth cavity filling treatment, tooth extractions, root canals, and gum treatment. They may also offer advice on proper oral hygiene practices and provide preventive treatments based on the individual needs. General dentistry is often the first line of defence against dental issues, and it plays an important role in maintaining good oral health for individuals of all ages.
Unlike special treatments like orthodontics, implants, or fracture management, general dentistry treatments are needed for routine dental care, preventive care, and to treat a range of dental problems, including tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss, and cosmetic concerns.
Regular dental check-ups are recommended every six months to maintain good oral health, prevent dental problems from developing, and detect any issues early on.
Treatments such as scaling, fluoride treatment, and sealant application can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Dental fillings, crowns, and root canals used to treat tooth decay and restore damaged teeth fall under the category of general dentistry.
