Getting Back to the Dentist

    PHOENIX, AZ, February 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Whether it's the tough economy, lack of insurance, or just plain anxiety, there are plenty of excuses to put off going to the dentist. If you haven't had a dental checkup in a while, you may feel like your dentist will judge you and lecture you about oral hygiene and daily flossing. If you find yourself in this position, please don't put off your visit to a qualified general dentist any longer.

Instead, look for a caring general dentist who will understand that it is sometimes difficult to schedule routine dental checkups and who will not judge you for the lapse in time since your last visit. A caring general dentist will be happy to see you for a general dentistry checkup and to help you get back on track toward a healthy and beautiful smile.

Your General Dentistry Checkup

During your first general dentistry checkup, your dentist will examine your teeth, and gums to determine what general dentistry treatments you will need to improve the health of your smile. This visit will likely include dental X-rays, which show your dentist if there are any issues with your jawbone or the roots of your teeth.

Your general dentist should make sure your visits to his relaxing general dentistry office are as pleasurable as possible. Comfort during your visits is important, so that you don't mind going to the dentist. If you're not comfortable, you may fall into your old habits of procrastination.

Many general dentists in Phoenix and around the country offer amenities such as TVs in their exam rooms, fluffy pillows, and heating pads. Once you find a caring general dentist with many comfortable amenities, you won't have any more excuses to put off good oral health.

General Dentistry Treatments

Your routine dental visits will include a full mouth exam and a dental cleaning. Your general dentist may request that you return for additional visits if you have dental problems that need to be corrected. Common general dentistry treatments used to correct dental problems are:

- White composite fillings
- Invisalign
- Dental implants
- Gum recontouring
- Porcelain crowns
- Porcelain veneers
- Inlays and onlays
