And that\u2019s exactly what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasadenafamilydentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">general dentistry<\/a> is designed to help you achieve. As general dentists, Dr. Kimber Holmes and Dr. Erica Revel at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasadenafamilydentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">Pasadena Family Dentistry<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasadenafamilydentistry.com\/contact.html\">Pasadena, TX<\/a>, want you and every member of your family to enjoy optimal oral health.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Revel are your dental partners, and as such they will help you do your part in having a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. Naturally, this partly depends on your at-home dental hygiene routine. Our dentists and their team of dental hygienists and dental assistants can teach you how to properly brush and floss your teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental Checkups: The Key to Good General Dentistry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The foundation of <strong>general dentistry<\/strong> at Pasadena Family Dentistry is the dental checkup. At this appointment, we\u2019ll clean your teeth, assess the health of your gums, check for tooth decay and administer x-rays when necessary to uncover any problems that might be hiding in spots not visible to the eye. Dr. Holmes and Dr. Revel would like to see you and every member of your family twice each year for these checkups. With this regularity, we can more easily monitor for changes in your dental condition that may warrant treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>General Dentistry Beyond the Checkup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to a checkup, Pasadena Family Dentistry offers other important <strong>general dentistry<\/strong> services. For example, if we find evidence of gum disease at your check up, we can treat with root planing and scaling to remove plaque and smooth rough surfaces of tooth roots. We may also prescribe an antibiotic to treat an infection due to gum disease or use laser treatment to remove bacteria and promote gum reattachment. In addition to periodontal therapy, our dentists also prescribe oral devices to treat bruxism and protect teeth during athletics and perform wisdom teeth extractions and root canal therapy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule an Appointment Today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To experience the best of <strong>general dentistry<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasadenafamilydentistry.com\/contact.html\">Pasadena, TX<\/a>, call the office of Pasadena Family Dentistry today.
