A General Dentist is a dental professional who provides a wide range of services to maintain and improve oral health. They perform routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and extractions. General dentists also diagnose dental issues and create treatment plans tailored to individual patients. They are often the first point of contact for dental care. In addition to preventive care, general dentists may offer cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening and veneers. They play a crucial role in educating patients about proper oral hygiene and the importance of regular dental visits. General dentists work in private practices, clinics, and sometimes collaborate with specialists for advanced treatments.
