What Treatments Does a General Dentist Provide?
Your general dentist is able to perform all types of routine exams and cleanings, as well as simple procedures such as filling and addressing cavities. However, at South Plains Rural Health Services, we take care of all kinds of dental concerns, including but not limited to:
- Root canals
- Dental implants
- Bridges and fillings
- Custom mouthguards
Are you thinking about a different kind of treatment that makes you feel more comfortable with your smile and your reflection? Our comprehensive dental care also includes cosmetic treatments, like:
- dental veneers
- professional teeth whitening
- or teeth straightening systems.
Contact South Plains Rural Health Services and learn everything about our comprehensive dental services.
The general guideline is to pay a visit to your dentist every six months—if you aren’t experiencing any discomfort, of course. Routine checks allow you and your dentist to keep your gum and teeth healthy, as well as catch any other problems or diseases during the early stages of development.
Don’t hesitate to schedule a visit if you suffer from severe toothaches or go through any kind of significant tooth trauma.
How Often Do I Need to See the Dentist?
An Overlook of Your Dental Exam
A routine dental exam should meet two basic but relevant goals: first of all, a thorough cleaning service. Secondly, a comprehensive evaluation of your mouth, in which your dentist checks for signs of any abnormal tissues or wounds.
When you get to your dentistry consultation at South Plains Rural Health, you will be attended by both a specialized hygienist and a general dentist. Your hygienist will take care of:
- Evaluating the health of your gums, tongue, and throat
- Cleaning and flossing each tooth, one by one (performing a dental cleaning)
- Taking x-ray images if necessary
- Helping you improve your brushing techniques
After that, your dentist will take over. Their work consists of evaluating your x-rays and removing stuck-on plaque and tartar. They also check your mouth for cavities, and if they find simple issues, can fill them in the same visit.
In case you are in need of a more complex treatment, our dental team will assess your situation and insurance coverage with you and decide what the best option for getting you back to your best health.
