Keep Your Smile Bright & Clean

Maintain a Healthy Smile With General Dentistry in Butte

Just as you need to visit a mechanic to avoid problems with your car, you can prevent serious oral health issues by visiting the dentist regularly. While our dentists have advanced training in procedures designed to save damaged and diseased teeth, it's always better to avoid these problems in the first place. With our general dentistry in Butte, we focus on keeping your smile healthy from the start.

In addition to regular dental exams and dental cleanings, our preventive care goes a step further. It enhances your oral and overall health, helps prevent cavities with fluoride treatments and sealants, and catches problems while they're still small. You'll also enjoy a comfortable experience and greater confidence in your healthy grin.

Sealants protect vulnerable tooth surfaces by blocking bacteria that can cause cavities and decay.

Fluoride strengthens enamel, helping reduce your risk of cavities and tooth decay over time.

Common Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?

From an oral health perspective, a general dentist is kind of like a primary care physician. Our goal is to prevent problems and maintain your oral health. At the same time, our doctors are prepared to provide a wide range of services, including restorative care and cosmetic treatments, at our office.

Do I need to visit a general dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that everyone should brush their teeth twice daily, floss every day, and get regular dental checkups at least twice a year. Professional cleanings and exams can remove plaque and tartar buildup and discover problems in the early stages. This can help you avoid more invasive and expensive procedures down the road.

What foods are healthy for my teeth?

If you want a healthy smile, you'll want a diet rich in whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables, calcium, and lean proteins. Make sure you avoid sugary drinks or sticky sweets, which can damage your tooth enamel. Drink plenty of water too! This washes away bacteria from your teeth and gums.

What are gum disease symptoms?

You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It's also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.

Why are mouthguards important?

Mouthguards can serve several important functions, including protecting your teeth, gums, jaw, and head while playing sports and preventing you from grinding your teeth at night. In either case, a mouthguard created by your dentist is the best way to ensure a custom, comfortable fit and that it's made of high-quality, durable material.
