General Dentist Montgomery County: How To Become a Dentist

Do you lack self-confidence in your smile? Do you get embarrassed by: faded, cracked or chipped teeth; crowded or crooked teeth; worn or stained teeth; or uneven spaces between your teeth? Elkins Park Dental Innovations is the General Dentist in Montgomery County that can re-design your smile.

How Does Someone Qualify To Become A Dentist

After graduating from an undergraduate program with a BS or BA degree, prospective dental students must attend an additional four or more years of schooling at one of fifty-six accredited dental schools in the U.S. Dental School graduates then must pass a two-part written national board examination and a written and practical state or regional board examination. After passing these exams, a dentist officially becomes a general dentist and is given a license to practice.

What is a General Dentist?

A general dentist’ is a qualified, licensed practitioner who is responsible for the management and treatment of everyday dental problems involving your teeth, gums and oral cavity health including:

  • Oral Exams and Cleanings
  • Fillings
  • Bonding
  • Crowns
  • Bridges
  • Dentures
  • Children’s Dentistry
  • Dental Sealants
  • Root Canal Therapy
  • Tooth Extractions
  • Periodontal Care
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatment
  • Snoring and Sleep Apnea Treatment
  • Emergency Dental Care

A good general dentist practices preventative care; The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit your dentist at least once every six months to ensure proper oral hygiene. Your general dentist will work with you to develop a customized dental hygiene plan that not only incorporates regular dental examination and cleaning, but also employs the use of x-ray and other diagnostic equipment to prevent, detect and treat problems as early as possible.
