General dentists are dental care providers for patients of all ages and can treat you and your entire family for your overall oral health. General dentists prevent, evaluate, diagnose, and treat diseases of the oral cavity, as well as maintain the function and appearance of the teeth.
The most common services offered by a general dentist are fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal treatments, dentures, dental cleans, bonding and oral treatments. Some Nowra dentists also carry out a range of cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, lumineers and cosmetic bonding.
Dentists’ duty of care includes not only their patients’ teeth and gums but also the muscles of the neck, jaw, head, salivary glands, and other areas. If necessary, they perform procedures such as biopsies, diagnostic tests, salivary gland functions, and screening tests for oral cancer. Many oral diseases and abnormalities can indicate other diseases. A general dentist may refer patients to a specialist for further evaluation or treatment.
A dentist will encourage patients to practice good dental care by brushing and flossing, and getting regular cleans. These good habits can help prevent cavities and other tooth and gum diseases.
