General Dentistry
General dentistry is a branch of dentistry that deals with preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral diseases.
“Love conquers all things except toothache.”For that, you need a dentist. Visit our general dental clinics in Corrimal (Wollongong Region), Penrith, Kotara (Newcastle Region), Tuggerah (Central Coast), and Wilton for expert care.
According to the National Institutes of Health, around one-third of Australian adults have undiagnosed dental issues. If left untreated, maladies like tooth decay or cavities can lead to a lot of pain and even cancer! However, this can be easily avoided if you visit a general dentistry clinic regularly.

General Dental Checkups & Cleaning
A general dental checkup is a routine examination when a Supercare dentist checks your teeth and gums to make sure they’re healthy. It’s a bit like getting a regular health check, but just for your mouth!
During your visit for dental checkup, the dentist will:
- Look closely to see if you have any cavities (holes in your teeth), gum problems, or other dental issues.
- Gently clean your teeth to remove sticky stuff like plaque and tartar that brushing can’t always get.
- Take X-rays to see what’s happening inside your teeth and gums.
- Talk with you about how to keep your mouth clean and healthy at home.
Most people should get a dental checkup every six months as recommended by our expert dentists with 20+ years of experience. But if there’s a problem, the dentist might ask you to come back sooner for frequent checkups.
General Dentists Check for Structural Damage
Oral health can be tricky. While brushing your teeth twice everyday, flossing, and mouthwash are helpful, you cannot check for gum diseases or structural damage, like cavities or attrition.
Our general dentists can help you by providing :
- Visual inspections: The dentist will look at your teeth for any signs of cracks, chips, or fractures.
- Percussion Testings: The dentist will tap on your teeth with a small instrument to see if they are sensitive to pressure.
- Mobility Testings: The general dentist will gently move your teeth to see if they are loose.
- Radiographs: X-rays can help the dentist see the inside of your teeth and gums, which can help them to identify any structural damage that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
How a General Dentist Checks a Patient's Dental Health?
Our general dentists, equipped with the most cutting-edge technology, can help determine any dental problems you may have and solve them swiftly. When you visit a Supercare clinic for a general check-up , you can expect :
- A comprehensive exam: Check-ups that include X-rays, OPG, 3D and CBCT scans to examine your teeth in detail to start the diagnosis process.
- Treatment planning: We customize a treatment plan keeping your priorities in mind.

General Dentistry FAQs
Dental fissure sealants are a preventive dental treatment that helps protect the chewing surfaces of your teeth from decay. They are a thin, plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth to fill in the grooves and pits, making them easier to clean and protect from decay. Dental sealants are typically applied to the back teeth (molars and premolars) because these teeth have the deepest grooves and pits.
