General Dentistry For Your Teeth’s Ongoing Health

General dentistry is most thought of when going to the dentist and getting your teeth cleaned. This quite possibly is the most important part of going to the dentist.

Regular visits to our office (at least twice annually) for a professional cleaning, x-rays and an all around checkup can help to prevent any serious problems. Regular checkups can catch any developing problem in it’s early stages so that Dr. Lampee can remedy it before it becomes a big issue. It’s very likely that your twice annual visits, coupled with the advice Dr. Lampee will give you on maintaining and practicing good oral hygiene, will be enough to keep you from developing almost any problems at all.

Cavities is another area that most think of for general dentistry. Several things can lead to tooth decay and the development of cavities; diets heavy in sugars and junk food, coupled with less than perfect oral hygiene are usually the main culprits. Cavities will cause pain in and around the affected teeth and if they go untreated they can lead to a host of other problems, including infection that may need antibiotic treatment.

General dentistry dentists can fix most cavities in a relatively quick and painless manner. Dr. Lampee uses a variety of picks and a dentist’s drill to remove all of the rotting material from the affected tooth and then fill the tooth back up with the appropriate filler. We use a tooth colored bonding material to fill your cavities. The tooth colored material will certainly result in a more attractive smile than the traditional silver colored.

Dr. Lampee’s passion for general dentistry shows in his service to his patients and procedures he offers. From standard fillings, to crowns and bridges, to root canals and surgery. We can fulfill all of your dental needs and concerns.
