A general dentist is a primary care provider for oral health. They are responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, and overall management of a patient's oral health. They perform a variety of procedures such as cleanings, fillings, extractions, and dental X-rays. They also diagnose and treat issues such as cavities, gum disease, and oral infections. They also perform preventative care, such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants, to help prevent future issues. They may also refer patients to specialists for more complex procedures such as orthodontics or oral surgery. They are responsible for the overall well-being of the patient's oral health and ensuring that the patient receives appropriate and timely care.
