X-Rays

Digital X-rays allow our general dentists in Sacramento, CA, to get a close look at your teeth and jawbone. It highlights damage to the pulp, infections, or decay. It can also spot bone loss that isn’t visible during our visual inspections. 

Cleanings

There’s nothing like the feeling of polished teeth after a dental cleaning. However, this service is more than aesthetics. It’s a preventive approach that reduces your risk of dental decay and gum disease. We recommend scheduling your dental cleaning every six months. 

Oral Cancer Screenings

For successful outcomes, oral cancer must be caught early. That’s why an oral cancer screening is provided every time you come to see us. 

Screening for Gum Disease

When detected early, gum disease is easily reversible. Our dental team checks for pockets between your gums and teeth and cleans them to prevent gum disease. 

Diet & Nutritional Counseling

Your diet plays a significant role in your oral health. We discuss your nutritional choices and offer suggestions to boost your oral health. 

Fluoride Treatments

Boost the strength of your tooth enamel with fluoride treatments. Fluoride strengthens your teeth and reduces your risks of decay and other tooth problems. 

Sealants

We often suggest sealants for the molars of children. Why? Because they protect the deep grooves that are challenging to clean from decay.

Why is General Dentistry Essential for My Oral Health?

In short, general dentistry keeps your entire mouth healthy. At-home care is great, but it’s not enough. Regular dental appointments (every six months) are necessary to prevent cavities and gum disease. It also gives our providers a chance to catch issues early and treat them before they damage your oral health. Remember, many oral health issues don’t show signs or symptoms at an early stage.

A general dentistry appointment is also a time where we provide education. We’ll teach you the best ways to brush and floss and discuss how your diet impacts your oral health. 

What Should I Expect During a General Dentistry Exam?

We’ll inspect your mouth, gums, teeth, and tongue. Next, we use a small hand-held mirror to check hard-to-see areas and follow that with some dental X-rays. 

A cleaning is also part of the exam. During the cleaning, our hygienist removes plaque and tartar, flosses your teeth, and gives them a good polishing.  

The Marconi Dental Group approach is preventive. We try to catch issues early and correct them before significant decay or disease develops. 

Our general dentists in Sacramento, CA, also discuss your dental history and take time to answer your questions. It’s our priority to help you feel relaxed in our chair. 

How Often Should I Visit Marconi Dental Group for General Dentistry?

We usually recommend visiting us every six months. That said, everyone is different, and some people may need to visit our office more often. At your initial exam, we’ll help you decide on a schedule that is best for maintaining your oral health.
