What general dentistry includes
General dentistry covers routine examinations, professional cleaning, tooth-coloured fillings, gum care and treatment planning. Your appointment is tailored to your oral health, symptoms and priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist.
When to arrange an appointment
Book a visit if you have tooth sensitivity, bleeding gums, a chipped filling, persistent bad breath or any change that concerns you. Regular preventive visits can also identify problems before they become more uncomfortable or complex.
What to expect
Your dentist will ask about your dental and medical history, listen to any concerns and examine your teeth, gums and bite. If X-rays or treatment are recommended, the reason, alternatives, limitations and likely number of visits will be discussed with you first.
