The Novato general dental services offered by Dr. Rafii include treatments ranging from routine dental exams to root canals.
From teeth cleaning to fillings, crowns and dental implants. Dr. Rafii stresses to all of his patients that having good general dental health is equal to having good general overall health. Far too often people think that if they are in good physical shape – their mouth is automatically healthy as well. The absence of pain in one’s mouth now, does not necessarily mean that you have good dental health.
Only a general dentist can evaluate the health of your mouth and teeth. Most people with gum disease are unaware they have it. Tooth decay usually starts small and gradually increases. A person will not feel it until it has grown and often already well into a nerve. Good general dental hygiene requires regular dental exams and cleanings. This can catch problems early and can prevent future dental pain, time in the dental office, expense and worst of all – tooth loss.
