What does general dentistry encompass?

General dentistry is the broad term used to describe the range of services aimed at preventing, diagnosing and treating a wide variety of conditions affecting the teeth, gums and maxillofacial region of the body. It includes dental exams to check for health issues, professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, fillings to restore decayed teeth, root canal therapy to treat infected pulp, extractions for teeth that are too damaged to be saved and patient education to prevent dental diseases. Regular general dental care is essential for maintaining oral health, preventing the progression of gum disease and preserving natural teeth for as long as possible.

Are cosmetic dentistry treatments painful?

Cosmetic dentistry treatments are generally not associated with pain. Dental professionals use a variety of pain management techniques including local anaesthetics to ensure patients are comfortable during procedures. Some treatments like teeth whitening and bonding are minimally invasive and cause little to no discomfort. Veneer placement may involve some preparation of the tooth surface, however, it is usually tolerated with anesthesia. Post procedure sensitivity is possible but is typically temporary and can be managed with over the counter pain relievers and sensitivity toothpaste.

What complications can arise from impacted wisdom teeth?

Wisdom tooth extraction is commonly necessary when these third molars do not have enough room to emerge or develop normally, which is known as impacted wisdom teeth. Impaction can lead to painful crowding, infections, cysts around the new teeth, damage to adjacent teeth and gum disease. The extraction process removes the wisdom teeth to prevent or address these issues. Dentists or oral surgeons recommend removal based on individual assessments and sometimes even before problems develop, as a preventive measure to avoid potential future complications.
