Why General Dentistry Is Essential
General dentistry is the foundation of lasting oral health. Regular preventive visits allow Dr. Yang to detect potential concerns early, when they are typically easier and less involved to address. Consistent care also helps prevent common issues like cavities and gum disease from developing in the first place. By staying current with your dental visits, you are making an investment in your comfort, your overall well-being, and the longevity of your natural teeth.

Terminology
- Prophylaxis
- A professional dental cleaning that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
- Periodontal Assessment
- Evaluation of gum health including measuring pocket depths and checking for signs of gum disease.
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Systematic examination of oral tissues to detect early signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions.
- Gingivitis
- The earliest stage of gum disease characterized by gum inflammation, redness, and bleeding. Fully reversible with proper professional treatment and consistent home care.
- Periodontitis
- Advanced gum disease where infection has spread below the gumline, causing damage to the bone and connective tissue that support teeth.
- Scaling and Root Planing
- A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach and heal.
- Impacted Wisdom Tooth
- A wisdom tooth that cannot fully erupt through the gumline because it is blocked by other teeth, bone, or soft tissue, often requiring surgical removal.
- Surgical Extraction
- A tooth removal procedure involving a small incision in the gum tissue to access and remove a tooth that cannot be extracted with forceps alone.
- Dry Socket
- A painful condition that can occur after tooth extraction when the blood clot protecting the healing bone becomes dislodged. Proper aftercare significantly reduces this risk.
