What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry is a branch of dentistry where the dentist, like Dr. Stephen Petinge at Stephen Petinge DMD, is highly educated in all fields of dentistry. Rather than just one part of dentistry, general dentists focus on everything in dentistry and can help patients at any stage in their lives. 

This comprises various oral healthcare services that aim to prevent and treat multiple dental issues. Our general dentist can help keep your mouth healthy, from teeth cleanings to root canals.

Services Stephen Petinge DMD Offers

We offer various dental services, such as:

Preventative Care

We focus on preventative care measures, which include regular exams, teeth cleanings, and dental X-rays. Additionally, we may recommend fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel, dental sealants to prevent cavities, and oral cancer screenings to check for signs of cancerous lesions. 

Routine checkups are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. During a dental appointment, Dr. Petinge will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or oral cancer. Early detection of these issues can help prevent them from becoming more severe and damaging your teeth and gums.

Cosmetic

Treating Gum Disease

Gum disease, or gingivitis or periodontitis, is a common oral health issue that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. We are skilled in diagnosing and treating gum disease. We may recommend deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing to remove plaque and bacteria from the gums and teeth. We may refer you to a periodontist for specialized care in severe cases.
