What Is General Dentistry?

FAQs About General & Family Dentistry
Do dental cleanings hurt?
No! Our skilled hygienists make cleanings comfortable and gentle. For patients with sensitive teeth, numbing options are available upon request.
What happens during a root canal?
A small opening is made in the tooth to remove decay and infection. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned, sealed, and protected with a crown to restore strength and function.
How often should I see the dentist?
It’s recommended to have dental exams and cleanings every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other concerns, more frequent visits may be necessary.
When should my child have their first dental visit?
Children should see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears to ensure healthy development.
Does dental insurance cover general dentistry services?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services like cleanings, exams, X-rays, and fluoride treatments. Check with your provider for specific coverage details.
