Healthy teeth for life.

General Dentistry is the application of several restorative processes aimed to repair tooth structure and preserve your natural teeth.

Good dental hygiene and health is fundamental in achieving general well-being. Investigations show, inadequate oral health can be connected with several serious conditions. Heart Disease, Cardiovascular Disease, Respiratory Disease and an increased risk of stroke; are all more likely to occur if the patient also suffers from poor dental health. Through the measures of General Dentistry, natural teeth can be saved and kept healthy for life.

A healthy, fresh appearance and smell within the mouth are the results of good dental health. Correct brushing and flossing techniques are fundamental in the maintenance of teeth and gums. Speak with Dr Fathi at your next dental appointment for the best way to brush and floss your teeth. Other essential Preventive Care steps that will help you achieve healthy teeth and gums include;
