General Dentist FAQs
What Is a General Dentist?
A general dentist, commonly called a family or primary dentist, is a qualified dental professional who provides essential care to patients of all ages. They are typically the main dentist you’ll see to prevent, diagnose, and treat dental issues.
As explained by the American Board of General Dentistry, a general dentist must successfully complete a post-doctoral residency in general dentistry or earn a Master’s Certificate from the Academy of General Dentistry. Then, there is a rigorous testing period to earn board certification, including a comprehensive written exam and oral exam with the Board Members of the American Board of General Dentistry.
Can General Dentists Remove Wisdom Teeth?
In most cases, a general dentist can complete simple wisdom teeth extractions. However, more complex extractions that present complications may require an oral surgeon to perform the procedure. Your general dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon or other specialist when necessary.
Do All Absolute Dental Locations Have General Dentists?
Yes, all Absolute Dental offices have general dentists who will serve as your primary care provider. We also offer other services at our Nevada locations, including pediatric dentistry, cosmetic services, orthodontic care, and emergency dental services.
