In Australia, there were over 70,000 hospitalisations for various dental conditions between 2016 and 2017 alone, all of which may have been prevented with regular general dental treatment. The fact is, oral health plays an important role in one’s overall health. Medical research has discovered several links between oral infections and serious health conditions, especially cardiovascular disease.
Needless to say, maintaining healthy teeth and gums is a must. At its core, general treatment helps you do exactly that. While it encompasses a variety of dental treatments, general dental treatment is essentially the routine practice of examining, cleaning, filling cavities, and performing other general dental practices to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Today, general dental treatment includes a wide range of services to help teeth remain healthy, functional, and looking their best.
Some of these treatment procedures include:
Oral exams and cleanings to detect early dental issues and maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Oral cancer exams to detect early signs of cancer, which can often be cured with early detection.
Fillings to prevent the expansion of cavities and restore decayed teeth.
Sealants to prevent the formation of cavities.
Teeth whitening to remove stains and keep teeth looking their best.
Extractions to remove teeth decayed beyond repair.
Dental implants to permanently replace teeth and provide a great smile that lasts forever.
Crowns and bridgework to replace missing teeth or lost tooth structure.
Root canal treatment to save diseased teeth.
Orthodontics to fix crooked teeth and provide you with a straight smile you can be proud of.
