Your first line of defense for a healthy mouth
General dentistry focuses on preventing, diagnosing and solving the most common problems of the mouth and teeth. In most cases it is the first point of contact between patient and dentist, which is why it is the foundation of any treatment.
At your first appointment we carry out a complete diagnosis to identify the treatment you need. If your case requires a specialist, we tell you clearly and refer you.
What does it include?
General dentistry treatments
Cavities and your teeth
Cavities are caused by the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. As they settle on the surface of the tooth, these acids gradually destroy its tissues.
Our lifestyle has a big influence: what we eat, how we care for our teeth and even the amount of fluoride in our salt and toothpaste.
During your check-up we look for white spots (loss of enamel) or brown spots. Depending on the damage, cavities are treated with resin fillings, inlays, crowns or veneers.
Prevention
How can cavities be prevented?
Prevention is key from childhood. These are our recommendations for you and your children:
Correct brushing
Brush with slow movements, from the gum toward the edge of the tooth, at least twice a day, and floss daily.
Balanced diet
Avoid snacking between meals and cut down on soft drinks, sweets and junk food. If you eat something sugary, have it with your meals.
The right amount of fluoride
Fluoride strengthens enamel. Ask us which toothpaste and how much is ideal for you, since it depends on your age and the water in your area.
Visits every 6 months
A check-up and cleaning every six months stops cavities early, before they hurt or become expensive.
