Your smile projects your joy into the world, and to care for it, you need a dentist who can help you prevent dental issues as well as fix them once teeth problems have already occurred. Dr. John Brodner at Brodner Dentistry in Tequesta, FL can help with general dentistry for all your smile concerns.
What is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the overarching dental knowledge and tools used to prevent gum disease and to ensure healthy teeth and gums. Your general dentist is much like a primary health care doctor. They oversee your oral health. Your dentist will teach you oral care, as well as diagnose any issues that arise so that they can be treated.
Dental Prevention vs. Dental Remedies
Dental prevention tools include regular brushing, professional cleanings to prevent gingivitis and tooth loss, and even realigning teeth or fixing an overbite underbite or crossbite so that when your teeth meet when you chew or talk, they aren’t damaged. With general dentistry, most professional dentists aim at preventing tooth damage and ensuring healthy gums, which are the foundation of healthy teeth.
Dental remedies are required when dental prevention tools aren’t used, or life happens. A cracked tooth caused by a sports injury, or the fact that someone is born with misaligned teeth is something that can be remedied. Brodner dentistry utilizes porcelain veneers, dental implants, bridges, crowns, root canals, fillings, dentures, and gum disease treatments when they’re necessary, but we aim to prevent gingivitis and bolster tooth health first.
What Can I Do to Improve My Smile?
If you want the best smile you can possibly have, it starts with regular brushing, flossing, and caring for your teeth at home. Combine this with regular dental check-ups and cleanings, and many teeth issues can be fixed before they grow into larger concerns.
