What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the foundation of your oral health care. It encompasses a wide range of services, including routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, and more complex procedures like root canals. The goal of general dentistry is to maintain and improve your oral health, prevent dental issues, and address any concerns early on. At Boca Dental & Braces, our general dentistry services are designed to keep your smile healthy and beautiful, no matter your age or dental needs.

- Comprehensive Dental Exam: One of our experienced dentists will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This may include X-rays to get a detailed view of your dental structure and identify any underlying issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
- Professional Cleaning: Our dental hygienist will perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. This not only helps to keep your smile bright but also prevents gum disease and tooth decay.

How to Prepare for Your First Visit
To make your first visit as smooth as possible, here are a few tips to help you prepare:
- Gather Your Dental Records: If you’re transferring from another dentist, try to obtain your dental records to provide our team with a complete picture of your dental history.
- List Your Medications: Be sure to bring a list of any medications you’re currently taking, as some medications can impact your oral health.
- Write Down Your Questions: If you have any questions or concerns, jot them down before your appointment. This ensures you don’t forget anything during your visit.
