General Dentistry In Inglewood
General dentistry includes a range of common and important services that you’ve likely heard of or dealt with before. General dentistry services usually include oral examinations, hygiene appointments, cancer screening, x-rays, root canals, tooth extractions, and more. These procedures are all important to help maintain your dental health. Chances are, you’ve undergone a few of these procedures before, but if you haven’t, Inglewood Dental is here to help you get on track.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting is a procedure utilized to treat thinning or receding gums. These conditions can be the result of genetics, injury, or disease. Dentists will take extra tissue from the roof of your mouth and graft over your thinking or receding gums to build up the gumline and keep the roots of your teeth protected.
Oral Cancer Screening
The sooner oral cancer is diagnosed, the better, so it never hurts to get a screening done if you think something feels abnormal (though screenings are typically done in regular checkups). Symptoms can be as simple as a persistent cough, so a professional screening is always best to keep you safe.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are excellent ways to keep your teeth healthy and protected. They act as a protective shield on your teeth against bacteria that can cause tooth decay and infection. Dental sealants are a lasting preventative measure that can save you pain and stress and reduce the frequency of your dental visits.
Dental X-Rays
X-Rays help dentists check out what’s going on under the surface of your mouth, and they can spot any irregularities or problems with ease. Areas that aren’t easily visible become visible in x-rays, such as tooth roots and the jaw. The x-ray procedure is very simple and is usually conducted at your routine hygiene appointments. At Inglewood, x-rays will help us keep you healthy!
Root Canals
At Inglewood Dental, we provide low-stress root canal procedures as needed to help relieve pain, improve oral health, and prevent further complications. Root canals are usually needed when your teeth become damaged—whether they are cracked, chipped or otherwise infected. If the infected roots are left untreated, they could result in tooth extractions or abscesses, which become more complex to handle.
Teeth Extractions
Sometimes the best option for treating an oral health problem is tooth extraction. We try to preserve natural teeth as much as possible, but in certain cases, extraction becomes necessary in order to prevent further complications. Dentists and oral surgeons can help prevent further infections and tooth pain by extracting your teeth with the use of local or general anesthetic.
