🦷 What Does a General Dentist Do?

General dentists are the primary care providers for your oral health. We handle most of the common dental needs that patients face throughout their lives.

Common services provided by a general dentist:

• Dental cleanings and checkups
• Tooth-colored fillings
• Crowns and bridges
• Root canals
• Tooth extractions (including some wisdom teeth removals)
• Gum treatments like scaling and root planing
• Cosmetic dentistry like whitening and veneers
• Emergency care

🤔 FAQ: What Can a General Dentist Do?

Q: Can a general dentist do a root canal?
Yes! At Tribute, we routinely perform root canals on front teeth and molars when appropriate. For complex cases, we may refer to a specialist.

Q: Do general dentists do implants?
Some do. At Tribute, we work with local oral surgeons for implant placement, then restore the tooth in-house with a custom crown. Learn more about dental implants in Frisco.

Q: Can a general dentist remove wisdom teeth?
Yes—many general dentists can extract non-impacted wisdom teeth. For complex surgical removals, we’ll refer you to a trusted oral surgeon.

Q: Can a general dentist do scaling and root planing?
Absolutely. This deep cleaning procedure is part of periodontal (gum) care for patients with gum disease.

Q: Can a general dentist do braces?
General dentists may offer Invisalign® or other clear aligners, but for comprehensive orthodontics, we recommend our sister practice Elate Orthodontics.

💸 General Dentist Costs Without Insurance

Q: How much is a general dentist checkup without insurance?
Typical cost: $100–$200 (includes cleaning, exam, and basic X-rays). Check out our Savings Plan for discounted preventive care.

Q: How much does a filling cost?
Tooth-colored fillings typically cost between $150–$300 depending on the size and location.

Q: How much does a root canal cost?
Root canals range from $800–$1,500. We’ll provide a full estimate before treatment begins.

🦷 Cavity Questions & Home Remedies

Q: Can I wait 2 months to fill a cavity?
We don’t recommend it. Cavities can grow quickly and lead to pain or infection.

Q: Can you heal cavities at home in 2 days?
No. Cavities cannot reverse once they reach the dentin layer. Only a dentist can remove decay and restore the tooth.

Q: Can hydrogen peroxide or baking soda fix cavities?
They may reduce bacteria short-term, but they won’t stop or heal decay.

Q: What kills cavities in teeth?
The only true treatment is removing the decayed tissue and placing a filling or crown.

🪥 Oral Health Habits & Natural Questions

Q: Should you rinse with salt water before bed?
Yes—salt water can soothe gums and reduce inflammation, especially after treatment.

Q: Do dentists recommend salt water rinse?
Yes, especially after procedures or during gum inflammation.

Q: Is lemon water good for your gums?
In moderation, yes—but it’s acidic, so rinse with plain water after drinking it.

Q: What’s the 30-second bedtime ritual for teeth?
It’s typically brushing thoroughly and flossing before bed—keeping your mouth clean overnight is key to preventing cavities and gum disease.
