General Dentistry

Complete dental examinations and diagnosis of oral diseases including x-rays.

• Preventive dentistry (cleanings, oral hygiene instructions, fluoride treatments, and fissure sealants among other treatments).
• Restorative dentistry (fillings and crowns).
• Initial endodontic treatment (pulpotomy, pulpectomy and root canal dressing).
• Simple surgical treatment (extracting teeth).

Occasionally, a general practitioner will recommend that a patient be referred to a dental specialist. For example, if he or she determines that the necessary treatment is complex and requires additional expertise, a patient will be referred to a dentist who has specialized in a particular area of dentistry.
