Protect Your Smile with Preventive Care
General dentistry is the cornerstone of oral health. At Toothology Dental, we focus on prevention first—catching small issues before they become big problems, and giving you the tools and knowledge to maintain a healthy smile between visits.
Our general dentistry services include comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, fillings, and preventive treatments like fluoride and sealants. Whether you’re due for a routine checkup or haven’t seen a dentist in years, we’ll help you get back on track without judgment.
Services Included
Discover the preventive and general dental services designed to keep your smile healthy, detect concerns early, and maintain long-term oral wellness through gentle care, modern technology, and clear communication at every visit.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
A thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues. We check for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns and explain everything we find.
Professional Dental Cleanings
Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and provide personalized tips for improving your home care routine.
Digital X-Rays
Low-radiation digital imaging helps us see what’s happening beneath the surface—detecting cavities, bone loss, and other issues invisible to the naked eye.
Dental Fillings
If we find a cavity, we’ll repair it with tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. No more silver fillings.
Fluoride Treatment
A quick, painless treatment that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities—especially beneficial for children and patients prone to decay.
Dental Sealants
Thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Sealants are highly effective at preventing cavities in children and teens.

FAQs About General & Preventive Dentistry
Find answers to common questions about general and preventive dental care. Learn what to expect during visits, treatments offered, and how we help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
Q: How often should I get a dental checkup?
A:
For most patients, we recommend a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, some patients benefit from more frequent visits—especially those with gum disease, a history of cavities, or certain health conditions. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your individual needs.
Q: Are dental X-rays safe?
A:
Yes. We use digital X-rays, which emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We also follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) and only take X-rays when clinically necessary.
Q: What if I haven't been to the dentist in years?
A:
No judgment here. Many patients feel embarrassed about gaps in care, but we’re just glad you’re here now. We’ll assess your current situation, address any immediate concerns, and create a plan to get your oral health back on track—at a pace that works for you.
Q: Do tooth cleanings hurt?
A:
Most patients find cleanings comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, you might feel some minor discomfort. Let us know, and we can adjust our technique or offer numbing options to keep you comfortable.
Q: Can you remove old silver fillings?
A:
Yes. If you have old amalgam (silver) fillings that are worn, damaged, or simply want them replaced for aesthetic reasons, we can safely remove them and place natural-looking composite fillings.
