Your oral health can impact your overall health and give you clues about what might be going on in your body. This is why proper oral hygiene and dental care is critical. Some of the health issues that your oral health could contribute to are:
Health conditions that may impact your oral health include:
One of the best ways to protect your oral and overall health is by visiting the dentist every 6 months for an exam and cleaning. The team at Glow Up Dentistry in Richmond offers many general dental services. In this article, we’ll explain what general dentistry is, as well as highlight a couple of our top general services.
General dentistry is the area of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating a variety of dental issues. Approximately 80% of dental practitioners are general dentists, making them the most common professionals in the field. The other 20% are specialists: endodontists, periodontists, pediatric dentists, and more.
A general dentist also referred to as a family dentist, works with patients of all ages, providing checkups, exams, and cleanings. General dentists can perform some treatments, such as cavity fillings, sealants, simple extractions, and more. However, if you need more specialized treatment, they will typically refer you to a specialist that is familiar with the care you need.
A general dentist is important for your oral and overall health. They will be able to diagnose and treat issues before they escalate. If you need a simple extraction, wisdom tooth removal, cavity fillings, fluoride treatment, or some restorative and cosmetic procedures, a general dentist can help. If your general dentist is unable to perform the procedures you need, they will refer you to a specialist. The good news is, we offer many services at Glow Up Dentistry, so you won’t have to go to another clinic. We can treat everything here.
We offer a wide range of dental care at Glow Up Dentistry in Richmond. These services can help you restore and maintain your beautiful smile. Some of our top services include:
Root canal therapy is needed when an infection has gotten into the tooth pulp, which is where the nerves and blood vessels are.
The dentist will start by making a small hole in the tooth. This will allow the infected pulp to be removed. Once the pulp is out, the tooth will be cleaned and disinfected. This will remove the remaining bacteria and reduce the risk of re-infection.
The tooth will then be filled with a biocompatible material to support the structure of the tooth. The hole will be sealed with a dental filling and, if necessary, a crown may be placed on the tooth to protect it.
This procedure allows us to salvage the structure of your natural tooth. The procedure can sometimes be completed in one appointment, though more complex situations may require a second appointment. You can expect to spend up to 3 hours in the dental chair, depending on the complexity of the tooth.
While many clinics are not equipped to offer treatment for special needs patients, Glow Up Dentistry is. Special needs can describe emotional, physical, developmental, or behavioral conditions including:
We understand that these patients require specialized care, including:
If you or a loved one has special needs, please let our team know. We will make sure that we include that as part of the treatment plan.
