How Often Should You Schedule Dental Exams?

The frequency of dental visits should be tailored to a patient's unique needs. In general, people with healthy teeth and gums should schedule dental exams and cleanings twice a year. However, people with periodontal disease or other oral health risk factors may require more frequent dental visits.

The Role of a General Dentist

Dr. Blyth, a general dentist, is similar to a primary care physician in the medical world. He oversees the dental health of his patients, provides routine check-ups, and offers advice on how to maintain good oral hygiene. Dr. Blyth is trained to diagnose and treat most oral health concerns, and when specialized treatment is necessary, he refers his patients to the appropriate specialist.

Dr. Blyth is committed to providing the best possible care to his patients. He has undergone rigorous continued education and training, starting with a bachelor's degree in Cell Biology and Neuroscience, followed by four years of dental school, culminating in a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree and a Certificate in Public Health. Dr. Blyth has completed multiple year-long advanced training curricula in complex dental rehabilitation.

What Services Do General Dentists Offer?

General dentists offer a range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic services to keep you smiling your best.

Preventive Services: Prevention helps you maintain good oral health by halting dental diseases before they take root in your mouth. We are pleased to offer a range of preventive services, including regular dental exams, dental cleanings, x-rays, dental sealants, and fluoride treatments. Dr. Blyth may also recommend a custom night guard to prevent damage to your teeth and jaws from habitual grinding, a condition known as bruxism.
Restorative Services: If Dr. Blyth detects a problem, he will ensure you get timely and appropriate treatment. The most common restorative procedures involve removing tooth decay and placing a dental filling. Other treatments may include dental crowns, bridges, or dental implants. Dr. Blyth can also diagnose and treat the reasons behind tooth pain or gum disease.
Cosmetic Procedures: Dr. Blyth also offers a variety of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and dental bonding. Even if you need a restoration like a filling or crown, he uses the best available technology and materials to repair your teeth on the same day with seamless results. Whatever your needs are, Dr. Blyth can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

The Importance of Routine Dental Visits

Routine dental visits are integral to maintaining good oral health. They play a significant role in preventing dental disease, enhancing your long-term oral health. Routine dental visits uncover issues like cavities and gum disease in their earliest stages, preventing them from progressing and requiring more costly and invasive treatments down the road.

In many ways, your oral health can be a window to your overall health. Some dental problems can reflect issues in other parts of your body and vice versa. For instance, untreated oral infections can lead to poorer control of diabetes, an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, or complications during pregnancy. Maintaining good oral health can enhance your overall health.
