All dental treatments that can be performed by a general dentist are part of general dentistry. Not every case needs to be referred to a dental specialist such as an Endodontist or Prosthodontist.

For minor or simple cases, our general dentist at Paradise Dental can help you resolve your dental problem.

GENERAL DENTIST PACOIMA

General dentistry includes the following dental treatments

  • Dental check-ups, to diagnose and make a treatment plan for dental problems
  • Scaling and polishing, to clean away stains, calculus and tartar off the surfaces of teeth
  • Dental fillings, to fill cavities caused by tooth decay and prevent further tooth damage
  • Root canal treatment for deeply decayed teeth where infection has reached the pulp
  • Dental Implants, which are used to replace missing teeth. They are placed into jaw bones to support dental prostheses such as crowns and bridges permanently.

How we manage

We are open to immediate contact if you have suffered a dental trauma. Contact us for first aid instructions over the phone till you can reach our dental clinic for intervention by us. This can greatly increase your chance of saving your tooth, as every minute counts in its prognosis.

Once you have arrived, we will take first-line measures to save your tooth. Following is a brief description of what we do:

  • Topical fluoride and composite build-ups
  • Partial pulpotomy (pulp removal) for a pulpectomy (complete pulp removal) depending on time lapsed and depth of pulp exposure
  • Mobile and displaced teeth are repositioned and stabilized with the help of splints
  • An avulsed tooth may be replaced and splinted
  • Tetanus shots for those who have open wounds from a dirty surface

At Paradise Dental, our general dentist can also provide you with treatment options for sleep apnea, a condition in which the breathing is impaired during sleep.
