GENERAL DENTISTRY FOCUS

General dentistry focuses largely on the components of good oral hygiene, the practice of which can help you maintain a vibrant, healthy smile and prevent future problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.

But general dentistry is about more than check-ups and teeth cleanings. Barrie, Ontario, dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick and the team at Chapnick Dental emphasize patient education to help ensure that children and adults have the tools to properly care for their teeth and gums.

Through pediatric dentistry, we can assist younger patients in establishing the foundation for long-term, good dental hygiene. Parents can help set a good example for their children by practicing proper dental care at home as well as undergoing routine general dentistry visits.

Although preventive care is important, tooth decay, gum disease and infections do occur. General dentistry also entails treatments for a wide range of dental health issues.

General dentistry may include:

• Teeth cleaning
• Endodontics (root canals)
• Periodontics (gum disease treatment)
• Mouthguards
