Nathan Gunning, DDS
General Dental Care for Patients of all Ages in Portales, NM
General dental care is as important to your smile as good hygiene. For instance, preventive exams and cleanings are necessary to avoid dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. At our Portales, NM dental office, Dr. Gunning and our team offer an array of general dental procedures to help your family enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.
The Importance of General Dentistry
When it comes to your oral health, prevention is vital. Therefore, the main focus of exceptional dental care is preventing issues from developing in the first place. Besides brushing and flossing your teeth every day, professional dental cleanings and exams help stop the development of bacteria-rich plaque. 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 worsen.
Excellent Dental Health in the Long Run
During your visit to your dentist’s office, your dentist will thoroughly inspect your teeth and oral tissues for signs of trouble. If any are present, then he or she will consult with you about appropriate treatment options to stop the problem from growing worse. However, successfully protecting your smile from further trouble will still rely on routine visits with your general dentist.
