General Dentistry: Complete Dental Care for All Ages at Desh Dental

What Is General Dentistry?

General dentistry focuses on preventive and restorative dental care to keep your teeth, gums, and overall oral health in excellent condition.

It includes routine services such as:

• Dental exams
• Cleanings
• Fillings
• X-rays
• Preventive treatments
• Early diagnosis of oral health issues

General dentistry ensures problems are caught early—before they become painful or expensive to treat.

Why General Dentistry Is Important

General dentistry plays a vital role in:

• Preventing Cavities & Tooth Decay
  Regular cleanings and fluoride treatments help protect your enamel.
• Detecting Problems Early
  Early diagnosis saves time, money, and discomfort.
• Maintaining Gum Health
  Preventing gingivitis and periodontal disease protects your teeth and jawbone.
• Improving Overall Health
  Oral health is closely linked with heart health, diabetes management, and inflammation issues.
• Keeping Your Smile Bright & Healthy
  Routine visits ensure long-lasting oral wellness for adults, teens, and children.

General Dentistry Services at Desh Dental

We offer a full range of essential dental services to keep your smile healthy at every stage of life.

✔ 1. Comprehensive Dental Exams

Regular checkups allow our dentists to detect cavities, gum disease, infections, and early signs of oral health concerns.

We use modern digital X-rays and imaging for accurate, low-radiation diagnostics.

✔ 2. Dental Cleanings

Our hygienists remove plaque, tartar, and stains to prevent gum disease and keep your teeth looking their best.

Cleanings are recommended every 6 months for most patients.

✔ 3. Dental Fillings

Tooth-colored composite fillings restore teeth damaged by cavities.

They blend naturally and provide long-term strength.

✔ 4. Digital X-rays & Diagnostic Imaging

We use advanced imaging technology, including panoramic X-rays and 3D scans, to identify issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.

✔ 5. Sealants & Fluoride Treatments

Great for children and adults, sealants protect back teeth from cavities, while fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent decay.

✔ 6. Gum Disease Treatment

We diagnose and treat early stages of gum disease (gingivitis) and provide deep cleanings (scaling & root planing) when needed.

✔ 7. Pediatric Dentistry

We provide gentle, friendly dental care for children—helping them build positive dental habits from a young age.

✔ 8. Tooth Extractions (Simple & Surgical)

If a tooth is severely damaged or infected, extraction may be necessary to protect your oral health.

We perform both simple and surgical extractions comfortably and safely.

✔ 9. Oral Cancer Screening

Regular examinations include checking for early signs of oral cancer. Early detection significantly increases successful outcomes.
