Richard Nelson, DDS
Family Dental Care for Everyone in Pittsburgh, PA
General dental care is as important to your smile as taking care of your teeth at home. For instance, checkups and cleanings are necessary to avoid dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. At our Pittsburgh, PA dental office, Dr. Nelson and our team offer a variety of general dentistry treatments to help you enjoy a lifetime of beautiful smiles.
The Necessity for General Dentistry
For your smile as well as your physical well-being, prevention is vital. Therefore, the primary focus of exceptional dental care is preventing dental diseases from developing in the first place. Besides brushing and flossing your teeth every day, professional dental cleanings and exams help stop the accumulation of oral bacteria into plaque and tartar. Other treatments, such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), bone and gum grafts, dental extractions, and more, can also help you address existing issues before they worsen.
Excellent Dental Health in the Long Run
During your dental appointment, your dentist will thoroughly inspect your teeth and oral tissues for signs of trouble. Then he or she will recommend an appropriate course of treatment to stop the problem from worsening. However, caring for your smile will still rely on maintaining good hygiene and regular general visits to your dentist’s office.
