Do I need to visit a general dentist?

Yes. Even if you are not currently experiencing any symptoms of tooth decay or gum disease, it is important to visit your dentist for a thorough examination and cleaning. Despite daily brushing and flossing, your teeth can still accumulate tartar that can harbor bacteria. These bacteria can lead to gum disease and tooth decay if not professionally removed at your dentist’s office.

What should I expect during my dentist visit?

Your visit will begin with a general inspection of the condition of your teeth. If you have not been to the dentist in a while, your dentist may order x-rays. An oral hygienist will then use special metal instruments to gently scrape away tartar along your gum line. Later, your dentist will review your x-rays and discuss any symptoms you may have been experiencing. He or she will then make a recommendation for treatment (if applicable) and answer any questions you may have.

Are there any special instructions I need to follow after seeing my dentist?

Based on the results of your dental check-up, your general dentist may recommend that you return for treatment or follow a special at-home oral care plan. You may also be referred to a dental specialist for treatment of advanced oral health conditions.

Did you know?

The American Dental Association recommends that every American visit a general dentist a minimum of one time every six months? Doing so can aid in the detection of decay, oral disease and other dental health problems before the progress and become severe. If you are at risk for certain complications or have a history or periodontal disease and advanced decay, you may need to visit your general dentist on a more frequent basis. Patients who visit their dentist regularly and as recommended are more likely to retain their natural teeth and enjoy a lifetime of good oral health.

Receiving consistent oral health care is essential to keeping your smile beautiful and healthy. Your regular visits include a variety of treatment approaches that address oral health concerns. Here at Rentschler and Rhee Dentistry, we provide a range of treatments for you and your family. These include:

Preventive Services – The first step to maintaining oral health is preventing concerns before they arrive. We provide numerous preventative services, such as dental cleaning, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to keep decay from taking hold.

Dentures, implants, crowns, and fillings are all types of restorations we provide at our clinic.

We provide dental whitening procedures, veneers, and cosmetic bonding services to improve your smile. Some aesthetic improvement processes, such as fillings and crowns, also have a restorative effect.

The importance of our oral health stretches beyond the appearance and function of our smile. Ongoing research has shown that oral health may be connected to overall health. Related conditions include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other concerns. We can also provide assistive treatment to patients working to manage sleep apnea symptoms.
