Welcome To Medent Dental Clinic
What Is General Dentistry?
A general dentist is uniquely oriented toward the prevention of disease.
65 % of all dental procedures are either diagnostic or preventive. By placing emphasis on oral health and hygiene, general dentists help you to avoid progression of some oral diseases. Letting them untreated eventually result in pain and the lost of dental pieces.
General dentists are the main providers of dental care to people of all ages. At a routine visit to your family dentist, you will probably have a thorough examination of your mouth (including teeth, gums, and other structures), a professional cleaning, and a discussion about your dental (and overall) health. If your exam reveals the presence of tooth decay, you will probably also have a filling in the affected tooth. Yet these procedures, while common, are hardly the only services your general dentist provides.
