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:
- Exams
- Cleanings
- Tooth colored fillings
- Root Canals
- Extractions (tooth removal)
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Partials
- Dentures
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
When you get to your dental consultation at South Plains Rural Health, you will be attended by the dentist and specially trained dental personnel. You will be provided with a Comprehensive Dental Exam which evaluates your mouth, teeth, and gums for cavities, bleeding gums, loose teeth, and any other signs of an unhealthy dental situation. The exam generally includes xrays, and a thorough evaluation of your mouth. After discussing your goals and desired outcome, the dentist will develop a comprehensive dental plan to address and treat any issues found.
We also provide Limited Exams that will focus on any urgent dental issue such as pain and infection.
Depending on the treatment objectives, you will be appointed with the dental hygienist who will clean and floss each tooth, removing stuck on plaque and tartar. The hygienist will also help you improve your brushing and flossing technique so that you can maintain that award-winning smile!
Our dental team will work with you in making appointments for additional treatment prescribed by the dentist, and assess your financial situation and insurance coverage, to provide you with the best options for getting you back to your best oral health.
Call (806) 894-7842 and make your appointment today! We look forward to serving you.
