General Dentistry Services
Your First Step Toward Optimal Oral Health
General dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the overall health and maintenance of the teeth, gums, and mouth for patients of all ages. At Whole Health Dentistry, we provide a wide range of services, including preventive care, such as cleanings and exams, as well as minor surgical treatments, such as tooth extractions. We also offer guidance on oral hygiene and diet to help families maintain good oral health and prevent dental issues. General dentistry serves as the foundation for more specialized dental care, addressing the most common dental needs for every member of your family.
Routine Cleanings
Dental cleanings are crucial for removing plaque and tartar that lead to cavities and gum disease. Even with good oral hygiene, professional cleanings are necessary. During a routine cleaning, a hygienist assesses your oral health, removes tartar, and polishes your teeth, including an oral cancer screening.
Deep Cleanings
For deeper gum pockets, a dental deep cleaning is needed to prevent gum disease progression. This involves cleaning below the gumline where bacteria and tartar gather. The key difference from a regular cleaning is the deeper focus, and sometimes an antibiotic may be applied for better treatment.
Compassionate Care for Patients of all ages
Gentle and Easy Tooth Extractions
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jaw, typically done when a tooth is damaged, decayed, or causing overcrowding. This procedure can be simple or surgical, depending on the tooth's condition and location.
Why Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction may be necessary if a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing pain. Removing it can prevent infection, alleviate discomfort, and protect overall oral health. Extractions also help resolve issues like overcrowding or prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment.
