- Dental ExaminationDuring an oral exam, the dentist will check for decay, disease and other damage to the teeth, gums, cheeks, tongue and jawbone. They will also check the patient’s bite. If it’s been a while since a patient’s last visit, a dentist may take x-rays for a more in-depth look at a patient’s teeth and jaw.

- Root Canal TreatmentA dental crack can seem like an extremely small and minor issue. However, a dental crack is notorious for becoming larger and flowing its way underneath your gum line and causing extreme foundation issues. A dental crack can also pave the way for bacteria to enter the tooth and the pulp of the tooth causing decay and other issues. If this happens, the dentist will need to perform a root canal therapy procedure in order to try to save the tooth. However, if the infection is far beyond saving, the dentist will likely need to extract the tooth altogether. This issue can be repaired easily with a dental filling as it is a resin that is used in the dental industry to fill the gaps between chipped teeth and cracked teeth.
- Deep CleaningA general dentist will also provide a cleaning. Using special tools, they will remove tartar, plaque and debris from the teeth. This will help the patient to avoid tooth decay and gum disease. If there is buildup under the gums, a patient may need to undergo a deep cleaning to resolve the issue.
