Many people wait until a tooth hurts to schedule a dental visit, but general dentistry is often most helpful when care is preventive. A dentist visit usually includes an exam, a cleaning, and sometimes x-rays depending on history and symptoms. General dentistry also includes services like fillings, fluoride treatments, and sealants for kids when appropriate. Your schedule may vary based on gum health, past cavities, and risk factors discussed during the exam. Home care matters between visits, and simple routines usually work best. Clear communication helps the dental team build a plan that feels manageable. be well dental provides dentist and general dentistry care with a focus on prevention and clear explanations.
