Types of General Dental Procedures

Preventative dental care is a crucial component of maintaining good oral health. It involves taking steps to prevent dental problems before they occur or before they progress to more serious issues.

If you have been noticing that your gums are more swollen and tender than usual or they bleed when you brush or floss, you may be suffering from gum disease.

TMJ symptoms can occur for a variety of reasons such as bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), jaw misalignment, sleep apnea, facial injury, or jaw joint arthritis.

If you are nervous about visiting the dentist or concerned about feeling uncomfortable during minor dental procedures, you may benefit from nitrous oxide.

It is characterized by interruptions in breathing during sleep, leading to decreased oxygen levels in the body. One of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea is snoring.
