Keep Your Smile Strong & Beautiful With General Dentistry Services

At Family Dentistry of Boynton Beach, we pride ourselves on helping patients protect their smiles with diligent, customized, and effective general dentistry services. Not only do these treatments and procedures help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, but they also ensure that should problems develop, we can quickly address them, avoiding challenges that can arise when patients don’t prioritize their smiles with regular professional dental care.

What services fall under the umbrella of general dentistry?

Key general dentistry services include routine check-ups, professional cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, and preventive treatments and services like fluoride applications, dental sealants, and tailored oral health education.

Regular check-ups and cleanings, which often happen every six months, allow our team to monitor your oral health, identify issues, provide timely intervention, and remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated by regular brushing and flossing alone. Restorative services like fillings and root canals are essential for treating tooth decay and infections, preventing further damage, and preserving your natural teeth. Tooth extractions help ensure that when a tooth is beyond repair or needs to be removed for orthodontic purposes, it is removed quickly and safely to prevent future oral health issues. Preventive treatments like fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay, while dental sealants protect the grooves of molars and premolars from cavity-causing bacteria.

How do these services benefit your overall health?

Poor dental hygiene has been linked to an array of systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, pregnancy complications, respiratory infections, and more. By prioritizing your smile with regular visits and daily dental hygiene practices, you can reduce your risk for these issues while also benefiting your digestive system since healthy teeth help ensure you can chew and process food effectively.

How often should you receive general dentistry services?

Many patients will require care every six months, though patients with gum disease and/or higher risk factors for oral health issues will require more frequent visits.

No matter your age or oral health condition, general dentistry services are crucial for protecting and enhancing your oral and overall health. Interested in learning more? Call our friendly and skilled dental team in Boynton Beach, FL, today!
