What Is A General Dentist?

A general dentist is also known as a family dentist – someone who addresses and treats the most basic and fundamental needs of patients ranging from children to adults. Their primary role is to examine and diagnose the dental health of their patients, fix any problems, and refer patients to specialists when it’s advisable. Our general dentists in Brewster also educate their patients about the best and most current dental hygiene habits for preventing possible teeth and gum disease.
