Mosman Dental Surgery | MOSMAN

General Dentistry

For most people their general dentist is the health care provider that they see most frequently. Unlike their medical doctor, osteopath, physiotherapist or other health practitioner whom they may only see when they have a problem, general dentistry is geared towards the prevention of disease in the mouth with regular dental check ups, examinations and professional cleans.

What Do General Dentists Do?

General dentists are the primary providers of dental care to people of all ages. They have all completed an approved course of study and are registered with their dental council. Every aspect of dentistry falls under general dentistry but not all dentists offer all treatment services depending on their training, experience level, post graduate study and areas of interest. 80 percent of registered dentists are general dentists. Unlike specialists, who are mostly focused on a particular aspect of dental practice, general dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to your continued health, including:

Preventive services — These help you maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in your mouth. Regular exams (including diagnostic images such as x-rays) and professional teeth cleanings are a cornerstone of prevention. Your general dentist may give you detailed instructions to improve your at-home oral hygiene, and may also recommend preventive treatments  if needed.

Restorative Services — If a problem is found, your dentist will explain their diagnosis and treatment options and ensure you get timely and appropriate treatment. Probably the most common (and highly effective) dental restoration involves removing tooth decay and placing a filling in the affected tooth. But that’s not the only restorative procedure general dentists provide. They offer you a place to go when you need prompt treatment for dental trauma—for example, a broken, loosened or knocked-out tooth. General dentists can diagnose and treat the causes of tooth pain or periodontal (gum) disease. They may also offer treatments for missing teeth, place crowns or bridgework, and help you get fitted with dentures. At the Mosman Dental Surgery we are trained to provide more advanced treatments, such as root canal therapy, orthodontics, and dental implants as well.

Aesthetic Procedures — Here at the Mosman Dental Surgery we have taken numerous postgraduate courses in cosmetic/ aesthetic dentistry and smile design and can help you get the smile who always dreamt about with a range of aesthetic procedures. These include teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding and bespoke porcelain veneers.

General Health Concerns —As general dentists we understand that your oral health can be seen as a mirror of your general health. Some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of your body, and vice versa. For example, untreated oral infections can lead to poorer control of diabetes, an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, and complications during pregnancy. General dentists are trained to identify these and other issues, and offer appropriate treatment or referral when needed. One special concern is obstructive sleep apnoea, a potentially deadly condition that can sometimes be treated with an oral appliance. General dentists can also offer nutritional counselling, advice on tobacco cessation and general health and wellness information.

When Should I See The Dentist?

The short answer is: every six months for preventative services—and otherwise, whenever you have a concern about your oral health. You may have a clear signal (such as a toothache or bleeding gums) that something in your mouth needs attention. Or, you may have heard of a cosmetic procedure that you’d like to find out more about.

In either case, don’t hesitate to call the dental surgery.
