What is general dentistry?

General dentistry at Eastpoint Dental Clinic involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions, disorders and diseases affecting the teeth, gums and maxillofacial (associated with the jaw and face) region of the body.  We provide services related to the general maintenance of oral hygiene and tooth health. Ideally, dentistry is preventative.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit your dentist regularly — at least once every six months — to ensure proper oral hygiene and functionality. Regular checkups and oral health maintenance prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require costly treatment. If you remain vigilant and visit your dentist regularly, you can enjoy exceptional dental health.
