A general dentist looks after your everyday dental needs, including routine check-ups, fillings for cavities, hygiene treatments, and advice on keeping your teeth and gums healthy. They also carry out treatments such as crowns, root-canal treatment, extractions when needed, and the replacement of missing teeth with options like dentures or bridges. In many cases, a general dentist can also offer basic cosmetic treatments, helping to care for both the health and appearance of your smile.
General dental care is suitable for people of all ages. Children benefit from early monitoring as their teeth develop, adults rely on regular care to prevent decay and gum disease, and older patients often need ongoing maintenance for existing dental work. Whether you need routine check-ups or help managing specific dental concerns, general dentistry supports long-term oral health at every stage of life.
A general dental visit usually begins with a thorough check of your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for any signs of decay, gum problems, or other concerns. As part of the examination, your dentist will also check your jaw joint and carry out a routine mouth cancer screening.
X-rays or photographs may be taken if needed to help see what’s happening beneath the surface or to monitor changes over time. Your dentist will talk through any findings with you, answer any questions, and explain next steps if treatment is recommended. Many visits also include a hygiene clean to remove plaque and tartar, leaving your teeth feeling fresh.
Yes, a general dentist is usually the first point of contact for most dental emergencies. This includes sudden toothache, chipped or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and swelling or infection. The aim is to relieve pain, stabilise the problem, and either carry out the necessary treatment or plan the next steps if further care is needed.
