What is general dentistry?
General dentistry includes evaluating, diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases, disorders, conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area, the adjacent and associated structures, and their impact on the human body. As a General Dentist, Dr. Mohan can develop customized dental hygiene plans which incorporate dental examinations, teeth cleaning, necessary tooth scaling, X-rays, and the use of other diagnostic equipment (such as a CBCT) with the goal of prevention and uncovering and then treating oral health problems as early as possible. General dentistry services consist of elements that are vital to your continued health, including:
- Preventive services (Oral exams, teeth cleanings)
- Restorative services (Fillings, periodontal therapy, etc.)
- Cosmetic procedures (teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, etc.)
The link between your oral health and your general health
You may not realize it, but the state of your oral health may also reflect your overall well-being. Several dental health issues can be related to the health of other parts of your body and vice versa. A great example is looking at somebody with diabetes living with untreated dental infections. These infections can often lead to bacteria entering your bloodstream, causing general health concerns, including difficulty controlling diabetes. Other health concerns linked to poor oral health include cardiovascular disease and pregnancy complications. As a general dentist, Dr. Mohan is trained to identify these issues and offer appropriate treatment or referral as needed.

Frequently asked questions about general dentistry
Has it been some time since your last dental appointment? Have you been putting off visiting the dentist because of a fear of the dentist or the cost? Are you finding that you are looking for more reactive dental care than proactive dental care? Dr. Anu Mohan of I-Rise Dental Boutique in Del Mar, California, is a dedicated provider in the area who can assist with a wide range of dental services, including general dentistry.
What is general dentistry?
General dentistry is a specific branch of dentistry focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and effective treatment of dental issues related to the mouth, teeth, gums, and other supporting structures. It involves routine check-ups, cleanings, and restorative procedures such as fillings, root canals, and extractions.
Why should I work with a general dentist?
General dentists like Dr. Anu Mohan of I-Rise Dental Boutique are trained to handle various dental issues, making them your first defense against potential problems.

What services does a general dentist provide?
Aside from routine check-ups and cleanings, general dentists offer a wide selection of dental services to treat various issues. These may include X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, crowns and bridges, dentures, root canals, and more. They educate patients on proper oral hygiene practices to prevent future dental problems.
How often should I visit my general dentist?

However, this may vary depending on individual needs and any specific dental issues requiring more frequent visits. Dr. Anu Mohan will be able to determine the best schedule for your unique situation.
