General Dentistry

general dentistry in Jersey

The mouth, teeth and their supporting structure are a very important aspect of general health and problems in the mouth can be very significant in contributing to other health issues. This is increasingly being recognised by health professionals and the public alike.

Your smile can affect your daily life. If you don’t like the way it looks, or are worried about bad breath, your self-confidence may suffer. Gum disease is now proven to have links with heart disease, and jaw joint problems can cause headaches, migraines and neck, shoulder and spine pain. In such a case it is possible to have a patient be seen by a team of Orthopaedic and Chiropractic practitioners where working in conjunction with our dentists, the bite level can be corrected with a whole mouth restoration whilst correcting the patients spine alignment.

Conversely, your lifestyle can affect your smile – an unhealthy, sugary diet can cause decay or dental erosion, and stress can cause jaw clenching or grinding, leading to head, neck and shoulder pains.

This pain can also be caused by TMJ, short for “temporo-mandibular joint”, which is the joint connecting your lower jaw and your skull. The movement in this joint lets you open and close your mouth and chew from side to side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about General Dentistry? Learn about regular check-ups, dental hygiene, and more in this concise FAQ guide.

It is recommended to visit a dentist every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings. However, the frequency may vary depending on your individual oral health needs. Your dentist will evaluate your dental health and provide guidance on how often you should schedule appointments.

Dental hygiene is crucial for maintaining oral health. Regular brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash help remove plaque, prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. Good dental hygiene practices also contribute to overall well-being, as oral health is linked to systemic health conditions.

During a dental check-up, your general dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of problems. They may take X-rays, perform a thorough cleaning, check for cavities, assess your bite, and screen for oral cancer. Your dentist will also provide advice on oral hygiene practices and answer any questions you may have.

To prevent dental emergencies, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental check-ups. Avoid chewing on hard objects, such as ice or popcorn kernels, and refrain from using your teeth as tools. Additionally, wear a mouthguard during sports activities and take proper precautions to prevent accidents that could damage your teeth.
