What is General & Preventive Dentistry?

General dentistry covers routine care for the whole family: check-ups, scaling and polishing, fillings for cavities, and extractions when a tooth cannot be saved.

Preventive care aims to stop problems before they start. It includes regular examinations, professional cleaning, personalised advice on brushing and diet, and early treatment of small issues.

Why it may be needed

  • Tooth decay and cavities
  • Plaque and tartar build-up
  • Toothache or sensitivity
  • Broken or damaged teeth
  • Teeth that cannot be saved and need extraction

General & Preventive Dentistry: frequently asked questions

Have another question? Message us on WhatsApp.

How often should I have a dental check-up?
Many people are advised to have a check-up about every six months, but the right interval depends on your oral health. The dentist will recommend one for you.
Does scaling damage the teeth?
Professional scaling removes hardened tartar and does not wear away healthy enamel. Some temporary sensitivity can occur.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Dental X-rays use low doses of radiation and are taken only when they are needed for diagnosis.
Is my first consultation free?
Yes, the first consultation is free*. Terms and conditions may apply, so please contact the clinic for offer details.
What happens if a cavity is left untreated?
Decay can grow deeper and reach the nerve, causing pain or infection. That may then need root canal treatment or extraction.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. General and preventive care is suitable for adults, senior citizens and children.
