Why Is General Dentistry Important?

At The Lodi Dentist, we believe that general dentistry services are essential for a patient’s oral and overall health.

Prevention

Regular dental visits allow for early detection of potential issues, such as cavities or gum disease.

Health

Oral health is linked to overall health. Conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections can be influenced by your dental health. Maintaining good oral hygiene can help reduce the risk of these systemic issues.

Confidence

A healthy smile boosts your confidence and self-esteem. General dentistry helps you achieve and maintain a smile you can be proud of.

Personalized Care

Every patient has unique dental needs. Our dentists tailor their care to suit your specific situation, ensuring you receive the best possible treatment.

Some of the General Dentistry Procedures We Offer Are:

Comprehensive General Dentistry Exams

During general dentistry exams, one of our dentists will give you an exam that will show us what treatment you may need. We want to share with you all the information we gather and then will partner with you to make the decisions needed to make sure your oral health is all it should be.

Dental Hygiene

We give you cleanings and a variety of other general dentistry treatments to make sure your gums, teeth, and general oral health are at their best.

Dental Fillings

We offer tooth-colored, non-metal fillings, a healthier, more attractive choice that can help secure your oral health to its best. Today’s general dentistry procedures help encourage oral health and dental hygiene more than ever.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are an excellent general dentistry treatment that can reduce the possibility of getting cavities, especially when used with children. The sealant is painted onto the teeth, most often the back teeth, that seals the teeth to prevent bacteria from entering the small crevices that are most prone to cavities. This encourages dental hygiene for children who have a hard time getting those back teeth clean and cavity-free.

Dental Hygiene Instruction

It’s a lot easier to maintain proper oral health if you know the best practices to achieve this. We can help you understand all you need to know to keep your mouth and teeth fresh and healthy. This is also a lot easier than getting a tooth crown or tooth bridge.

Importance of Oral Care

Good oral care is vital not only for your teeth and gums but for your overall health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Regular dental visits and proper home care can help prevent these complications.

Key Components of Oral Care:

Regular Dental Checkups

Routine exams allow us to monitor your dental health, catch potential issues early, and provide necessary treatments.

Professional Cleanings

Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup—especially in areas hard to reach with your toothbrush—reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay, making it an essential part of preventive care.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Regular screenings help detect any early signs of oral cancer, ensuring prompt intervention if needed.

Patient Education

We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge about oral hygiene practices, dietary choices, and the importance of regular dental care.
