Richard Carlson, DDS
General Dental Care for Patients of all Ages in Brainerd, MN
General dentistry is as important to your smile as taking care of your teeth at home. For instance, preventive exams and cleanings are necessary to prevent dental health complications such as tooth decay and gingivitis. At our Brainerd, MN dental office, Dr. Carlson and our team offer a variety of general dentistry treatments to help you enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.
The Necessity for General Dentistry
When it comes to your health, prevention is vital. Therefore, the main focus of general dentistry is preventing dental diseases from developing in the first place. Besides keeping your teeth clean with good hygiene, professional dental cleanings and exams help stop the formation of plaque and tartar. Other procedures, such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), bone and gum grafts, dental extractions, and more, can also help you manage existing issues before they grow worse.
Caring for Your Smile in the Long Run
During your dental appointment, your dentist will carefully perform a comprehensive dental exam for signs of trouble. If any are present, then he or she will recommend an appropriate course of treatment to stop the problem from worsening. However, successfully protecting your smile from further trouble will still rely on ongoing general dental care.
