What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry encompasses a wide range of preventative, diagnostic, and restorative treatments that form the building blocks of good oral health. At Dental Rescue, we focus on identifying potential problems early and providing effective treatments to keep your smile healthy and confident. Our general dentistry services are designed to cater to patients of all ages, ensuring that every member of your family receives the care they need. With a focus on prevention and personalised treatment plans, we help you avoid costly and complex dental issues in the future.Routine Dental Check-Ups
Preventative care is at the heart of what we do, and routine dental check-ups are a critical part of maintaining long-term oral health. These regular visits help identify issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral infections before they become more serious.
For Children:
Routine check-ups for children are essential for monitoring the growth and development of their teeth and instilling lifelong oral hygiene habits. During these visits, we provide:
- Thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar.
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing enamel.
- Education on proper brushing and flossing techniques.
- Monitoring of baby teeth and guidance on how to care for erupting permanent teeth.
Our friendly team creates a stress-free environment for children, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident during their visits.
For Adults:
For adults, routine check-ups are about preventing oral health issues and maintaining the health of teeth and gums. These visits include:
- Comprehensive exams to check for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer.
- Professional cleanings to eliminate stubborn tartar and plaque.
- X-rays to detect hidden problems, such as tooth decay or bone loss.
- Personalised advice on improving oral hygiene practices.
Emergency Dental Appointments
Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, but Dental Rescue is here to help. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a cracked tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, our team provides fast, effective care to alleviate pain and restore your smile.
Some common dental emergencies we treat include:
- Severe tooth pain or sensitivity.
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth.
- Lost fillings or crowns.
- Swollen gums or abscesses.
- Knocked-out teeth.
When a dental emergency arises, it’s important to act quickly. Our priority is to provide immediate relief and protect your oral health, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Composite Fillings
Cavities are one of the most common dental issues, affecting people of all ages. At Dental Rescue, we use advanced composite fillings to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. Composite fillings are a popular choice because they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and durable solution.
Benefits of Composite Fillings:
- Natural Appearance: Composite material is colour-matched to your teeth for a seamless look.
- Durability: Composite fillings are designed to withstand everyday wear and tear.
- Versatility: In addition to treating cavities, composite fillings can repair minor chips or cracks in teeth.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: Less tooth structure needs to be removed compared to traditional amalgam fillings.
The process is quick and comfortable, ensuring you leave our office with a restored, healthy smile.
