Dr. Jordan Blankenship-Sniker on general dentistry Read Transcript Dr. Jordan Blankenship-Sniker on general dentistry
Dr. Jordan: General dentistry, I think, is the best part of dentistry. You get a little bit of everything, and you're like the gatekeeper. You're the first line of defense for when someone has a problem.
Deleted: We are trained to do root canals, fillings, cosmetic cases, orthodontics, dentures. Like I said, a little bit of everything. When someone comes to us, we have the education to talk to them about what's going on and how it's affecting their health in general. We know our scope of practice. We can either do it ourselves, or if it gets a little bit too complicated, we know who to refer to.
- Better oral health for a cleaner, whiter smile.
- Detection of problems like TMJ and orthodontic issues.
- Medical history review and discussion of specific oral and dental issues. You can fill out your medical history and new patient forms ahead of time.
- Improved self-esteem and confidence in social interactions.
- Regular oral cancer screenings through oral, head, and neck exams.
- Cavity detectors to catch signs of decay not visible to the naked eye.

Maintain Optimal Oral Health With Our General Dental Services
We will work with you to determine a treatment plan based on your needs, comfort, and budget. Our general dental services aimed at preventing cavities and other problems include:
- Exams and Teeth Cleanings – We will take digital X-rays and give you a complete dental exam to check for cavities, gum disease, orthodontic problems, TMJ issues, and oral cancer. Our hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing harmful bacteria and plaque. We will take time to discuss your exam results and answer any questions you have.
- Dental Sealants – Sealants are sometimes recommended as a part of cavity prevention. They act as a barrier between your teeth and decay-causing bacteria.
- Fluoride Treatments and Varnishes – Protect your smile against cavities with these easy treatments. Fluoride helps prevent cavities and can even reverse decay in its early stages.
- Nutritional Counseling – We educate our patients on how the foods we eat play an important role in oral and total body health.
- Athletic and Bruxism Mouthguards – Get a custom-fit mouthguard to protect your teeth against injury during sports or from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding). Bruxism mouthguards can also help alleviate TMJ discomfort (the temporomandibular joints on both sides of your head).
