General dentistry is a dental service that aims to protect and maintain your dental and oral health. It includes check-ups, gum disease treatment, fillings, dental crowns, and root canal treatment.

You should visit your general dentist once a year; if you have dental problems or poor oral health you’re likely to need to visit more often. If in doubt, ask your general dentist direct.

Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth, and ask you about any health problems you’ve had since your previous check-up. They’ll also advise you on dental procedures you may need to have and/or changes you could make to your oral hygiene routine and lifestyle that could improve your dental and oral health. They’re also likely to give your teeth a good clean and polish.

Post procedure pain relief tends to be managed by paracetamol, aspirin, and/or ibuprofen.
