What is General Dentistry?

If you think about all your general dentist does for you and your family it isn’t hard to figure out the importance of coming into our office for routine care. In fact, general dentistry is the first line of defense against common dental issues like decay and gum disease. By coming in to see us every six months for exams and cleanings we are able to detecting problems during their earliest stages when it’s easier to treat.

These routine oral exams may not seem very important. In fact, if you aren’t experiencing any dental issues or symptoms then everything must be fine, right? Well actually, many times people with dental problems don’t often experience any symptoms, so the only way we actually know there is an issue is with these preventive cleanings and checkups.

A general dentist also gets to know the growing needs of every member of your family. We check off important dental milestones for your children, provide orthodontic treatments that cater to any member of the family, remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent cavities and gum disease and also educate our patients on the importance of at-home oral care.

If you are in need of general dentistry, then schedule your routine dental visit with Doctors  Forstadt and Blom. Call our Sonoma, CA office today at (707) 938-8528 .
