What is a General Dentist?
General dentists are the primary dental care providers for children and adults, providing custom dental hygiene plans that include dental checkups, routine cleanings, scaling, and X-rays.
Ideally, patients should schedule a general dentistry visit every six months unless we recommend otherwise. These appointments are essential to monitor potential dental issues and treat conditions early before they impact dental health.
