General Dentistry Services in Lakeland

What Are General Dentists?

A general dentist is the equivalent of your primary care doctor; he or she takes responsibility for your overall oral health. Dentists work with other professionals, such as dental hygienists and dental assistants, and an office staff that schedules appointments and performs a variety of other clerical tasks. Together, the team keeps the office running smoothly and your oral health in great shape.

What Does a Dentist’s Job Entail?

The majority of a dentist’s work is preventative, such as taking x-rays to spot the first signs of trouble. A dentist is also the person people turn to when a tooth is injured or the gums are painful. Another essential facet of a dentist’s job is educating their patients on how to prevent decay. Please contact us today if you need to make a dental appointment.
