General dentistry focuses on the overall health of your mouth using preventive ideology and a BEST-PRACTICE approach.  The mouth is the main entryway into the body and is one of the most important keys to health or illness.  Therefore it needs special care and attention, and that's where general dentists step in.

Proper dental care helps prevent oral illnesses which if left untreated can grow to be a danger to your overall health.  Much of dental treatment, therefore, is preventive by nature. For example, professional cleanings can help prevent gum disease.  A filling can prevent the need for a crown.  A crown can prevent the need for a root canal.

The secret to dentistry is finding problems before they start.  And sometimes, problems in the mouth can start and grow quite rapidly.  That's why we recommend a complete dental examination every six months.  Early detection makes dentistry easy and conservative.
