Prevent Problems With Thorough General Dental Care

Our dental professionals have been helping families and individuals for a long time. That’s why we are able to offer a number of general dentistry services:

  • Dental Cleanings and Exams – During a professional cleaning, we remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Exams are our opportunity to diagnose problems early, when treatment is easier and less invasive. Our DIAGNOdent cavity detector can help us find even the smallest areas of decay.
  • Dental Sealants – This protective coating has been proven to reduce the risk of cavities.
  • Fluoride Treatment – We apply fluoride to make your teeth stronger and better able to resist tooth decay.
  • Halitosis Treatment – Bad breath is often caused by conditions in your mouth. We can identify the source of this persistent problem and treat it.
  • Dry Mouth Treatment – Dry mouth can make you more likely to have other issues, including gum disease. We can help you relieve this condition with prescription mouth rinses.
  • Gum Disease Treatment – Gum infections can lead to a number of problems, including tooth loss. Treating it early can restore your oral health. Our periodontist can treat all stages of gum disease in-house, sometimes with a gentle laser.
  • Athletic Mouthguards – Our custom-made mouthguards provide comfort and protection that can’t be matched with store-bought guards.

Regular dental checkups, along with your daily oral hygiene, can go a long way toward keeping your smile healthy and attractive. We want to make your visits as easy as they can be. Finding an office where you feel calm and relaxed during your appointments means you are more likely to get the care you need and deserve. To reduce dental anxiety, we offer comfort amenities including beverages, blankets, and pillows. To keep you free from pain, we use Oraqix and sedation dentistry.

For compassionate, professional general dentistry in McAllen, plan on making your next appointment at Sabal Dental. Call 956-247-4994 for a visit or schedule online.

Common Questions About General Dentistry

What does general dentistry include?

General dentistry consists of numerous services that are made to keep your smile in terrific shape. These services include dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive services like fluoride applications and sealants, athletic mouthguards to safeguard your teeth during sports, and even treatment for dry mouth and halitosis (bad breath).

Can I prevent cavities?

Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you’re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.

Can specialists practice general dentistry?

While the response is yes, in actuality most specialists do not practice general dentistry; they work strictly in their field of expertise. That’s why it’s much better to go to a general dentist for most of your routine oral care, like cosmetic and restorative dentistry. A general dentist sees all sorts of cases every day and is well prepared to manage a variety of dental situations.
