What Is General Dentistry?

General dentistry is an area of practice in which the primary focus is on prevention and restoration.
Preventive dental services such as x-rays and routine checkups and cleanings help us stop the disease before it can progress. Prevention does not end in the dental office. During routine visits, Dr. Frey or your hygienist may discuss strategies you can implement at home to address your particular oral health needs.

Restorative dental services become necessary when a problem is identified. Common dental problems like cavities and gum disease are treated as conservatively as possible. This may involve a tooth-colored filling, crown, or deep cleaning. Early treatment for dental problems is necessary to avoid pain, stress, and more extensive treatment.
General dentistry also contributes to overall health. What happens in the mouth affects what happens in the body. Patients with certain health conditions, such as diabetes, need an attentive dentist who is aware of their increased risk for oral infection as well as the contribution oral health has on general health.

He now offers 3-D X-rays which is state of the art and is at the forefront in dentistry!
Dr. Frey’s practice has been completely paperless since 2007 and environmentally friendly.

What Are Dental Sealants, Who Should Get Them, And How Long Do They Last?

The teeth at the back of the mouth have deep grooves and crevices. Dental sealants are a type of preventive service that blocks food particles and bacteria from attaching to the surface of these teeth. Sealants are a liquid resin material that seeps into crevices on chewing surfaces. The light hardens the resin and holds it in place.

Dental sealants are ideal for patients who are especially prone to cavities. Young children who still have baby teeth are excellent candidates, as are older children and teens who are still perfecting their oral health practice. Adults who are prone to cavities can also receive dental sealants. These protective barriers can last up to 10 years.

What Type Of Toothpaste Should I Be Using?

With such a wide variety of toothpaste products available today it can be difficult to choose which is right for you. Generally, patients without veneers or crowns on front teeth can use any toothpaste that is approved by the American Dental Association. Approval is indicated on the product label.

Whitening toothpaste may contain tiny abrasive particles and may not be appropriate for people with veneers, bonding, or crowns. In such instances, a sensitive-teeth toothpaste may be more suitable.

If you aren’t sure which toothpaste is best for your unique needs, talk to your dentist or hygienist during your next checkup and cleaning.

Which Is Better, A Manual Toothbrush Or An Electric Toothbrush?

There are several advantages to electric toothbrushes. An analysis of data has suggested that electric toothbrushes, particularly those with oscillating tips, decrease plaque buildup on teeth better than manual toothbrushes. Less plaque means a lower risk of cavities and gingivitis. Additionally, electric or sonic toothbrushes may be more effective in instances where a patient has diminished dexterity, such as a person with arthritis.
Whether you use an electric toothbrush or manual brush, the key to sustained oral health is consistency in both brushing and flossing.

What Causes Cavities?

Cavities are the direct result of acidity in the mouth. Acidity comes from bacteria that naturally live in the body. These microorganisms consume food particles and deposit acidic substances on enamel as well as the gums. When a spot on a tooth becomes weak from acid, it continues to degrade until it is repaired. A good practice to minimize the risk of cavities is to drink water throughout the day and swish water around in the mouth after eating or drinking.

What Is The Best Method To Get My Teeth Whiter?

Professional teeth whitening is the safest and most effective way to get and keep a radiant smile. The medical-grade peroxide gel used by your dentist permeates the outer layer of enamel to break apart molecules that have settled in pores. This well-developed system of whitening teeth achieves maximum results without harming enamel the way some suggested home remedies can. We offer both in-office and home whitening services to meet patients’ needs.

How Often Should I Be Brushing My Teeth?

Oral care is the foundation of healthy teeth and gums. Dentists encourage patients of all ages to spend two full minutes brushing their teeth two times a day. Brushing removes debris, bacteria, and their acid from visible surfaces. To prevent hidden damage, it is also necessary to floss once every day.

How Often Should I Go To My Dentist For A Check-Up?

Studies have indicated that it can take several months for a cavity to develop. Therefore, it is recommended that all people undergo a thorough dental exam and professional cleaning every six months. This guideline is maintained for most patients. In the event that a dental problem like advanced gum disease is discovered, a patient may need more frequent follow-ups until their oral health has improved.
