General dentistry

General dentistry involves treating a variety of dental problems that people face.

General dentistry is a range of treatments which allow dentists to preserve the oral health of our patients. In the past the general idea was that losing teeth is inevitable but today with the increased knowledge we have of the aetiology of tooth loss allows us to preserve our patients dentition and maintain the quality of life they have.
The major cause of tooth loss is either gum disease or tooth decay and both causes can be prevented and treated with regular check ups and general dentistry.

Our mouth is the entry point to our digestive and respiratory system and Oral health can be directly related to a number of health issues. Knowing the importance of our oral health can motivate us to maintain healthy dentition and gums. Seeing a dentist regularly and having general dental treatments done when needed can not only protect our oral health and also prevent any complicated and specialised treatments.
