General Dentistry Treatments
General dentistry incorporates a wide array of services to keep your natural teeth and gums healthy. Some of our general dentistry procedures include:
- Dental exams and cleanings to help maintain the overall health of your teeth and gums.
- Fluoride treatments strengthen enamel, prevent tooth decay, and promote long-lasting oral health.
- Custom mouthguards and nightguards to protect teeth during sports or treat teeth grinding.
- Oral cancer screenings to detect early signs and ensure proactive care.
- Dental sealants to protect teeth from decay and cavities.
How often should I get a dental exam and cleaning?
Our team at Balcones Family Dental encourages patients to visit our office every six months. Tooth decay and gum disease don’t often cause problems until they’re more advanced. By attending regular dental appointments, our team can prevent or treat these problems before they worsen. Though every six months is typical, we may need you to come in more frequently if your oral health needs extra attention.
When should I bring my child to the dentist for the first time?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children should start visiting the dentist by the time their first tooth sprouts or no later than their first birthday. Children must visit the dentist regularly to track milestones and prevent tooth decay. We always treat our young patients with a unique approach, striving to create an environment that feels safe, comfortable, and educational.
