Proper and regular oral care is important to sustain the health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. General dentistry services provide the care and direction needed in order to keep your teeth and gums as healthy and strong as possible. When you visit Dr. Richard Yung for general dentistry services, you can rest assured knowing you're receiving some of the best oral care in the Columbia, SC area!
When you visit Dr. Richard Yung, he will first examine your mouth, including your teeth and gums to ensure there are no pressing issues that need to be addressed. Our technicians will then clean your teeth, getting every crevice and looking for cavities or other slight issues in your teeth. If preventative or restorative services are needed, we will address those concerns. Our main goal is to make sure your oral health is the best it possibly can be and we will work with you to reach that goal!
Most general dentists urge you to make an appointment for a cleaning every six months, and we recommend the same! By seeing us twice a year, we can diagnose, treat, and manage all of your dental health care needs with ease.
Going to regular general dentistry appointments is important for three specific reasons including:
Prevention- Visiting the dentist every 6 months allows the dentist to become familiar with your oral health. We can take action to prevent certain things from happening such as developing cavities, tartar, and plaque.
Detection- As your general dentist, we have the opportunity to detect problems early on when you come in for routine services. This can prevent problems from getting more severe and require more expensive treatments.
Routine Care- Our general dentistry team will help ensure your oral health is in good standing and recommend any tips for continuing care at home.
