Do General Dentists Do Cavities?

Comprehensive Care for a Healthier Smile

Yes, general dentists are trained to diagnose and treat cavities through procedures like fillings. A cavity forms when a tooth becomes decayed, and leaving it untreated can lead to more serious problems such as infections or tooth loss.

If you think you have a cavity, it’s important to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. We offer quick and painless cavity treatments to help preserve your natural tooth.
