General dentistry refers to dental services that help maintain oral health. By this we mean cleaning tartar, repairing teeth affected by caries and treating the dental nerve. If you regularly perform some of these services, you will extend the life of your teeth, as well as your smile.
Cleaning tartar
it is part of basic oral hygiene. Tartar is formed by the accumulation of inorganic substances (minerals) in plaque. The appearance of dental plaque causes inflammation, mild or severe toothache and receding of the gingiva, and is aesthetically inappropriate, and it also leads to unpleasant breath. Professional mechanical cleaning of calculus involves the selective removal of dental plaque from all dental surfaces, whereby we attach special importance to those surfaces that the patient usually neglects during cleaning.
Dental caries
Caries is a disease of hard dental tissues, and it manifests itself most often as a black spot that can be seen on the outer surface of the tooth. A very widespread disease of hard dental tissues, it is the most common human disease in general. Treatment of teeth from caries involves the removal of the carious mass, and the defect on the tooth is filled with some of the restorative materials.
Endodontics
is a branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of diseased pulp. Dental pulp is a soft tissue that contains nerve fibers and blood vessels. It is surrounded by the inner layer of the tooth, the dentin, and the enamel, the surface layer of the tooth, continues on the dentin. The progression of caries through the enamel and dentin leads to inflammation of the pulp, which is called pulpitis. In case of inflamed or dead dental pulp, the tooth can be saved by removing the inflamed or dead soft tissue from the endodontic cavity with special manual or mechanical endodontic instruments. Root canals are cleaned and disinfected as much as possible, then expanded and filled with biologically acceptable material.
