General Dentistry in Kitchener – Providing Comprehensive Dental Care in a Comfortable Environment
Our Family Dentist in Kitchener is Pleased to Provide Various General Services to Improve and Maintain Healthy Smiles for All.
Regular Dental Visits are Crucial to the Health of Your Teeth
Routine dental care forms the foundation of a healthy smile. At Dentistry at Frederick, we emphasize the importance of regular checkups to prevent small issues from becoming major problems for patients of all ages. Our general dentistry services are designed to maintain your oral health and ensure long-term well-being.
Routine Visits Should Be Scheduled Every Six Months – Here's Why
We can detect potential issues like tooth decay or gum disease at an early stage and prevent issues from worsening, especially when it comes to preventing the spread of infection.

We can professionally clean your teeth and remove the accumulation of plaque and tartar, especially in hard-to-reach areas that you can't get at home.

We can continue to regularly assess your individual needs and update your treatment plan accordingly.
What Professional Teeth Cleanings Will Entail
Even with good at-home oral hygiene routines, having your teeth cleaned by our team is essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot. This is why our dental hygienists go beyond basic maintenance to ensure optimal oral health.
Initial Assessment and Medical History Review
Your cleaning appointment begins with a thorough review of your medical history and any changes since your last visit. Our hygienist will assess your gums for signs of inflammation, measure pocket depths around your teeth, and identify areas requiring special attention. This initial evaluation helps us customize your cleaning experience to address your specific oral health needs.
Plaque and Tartar Removal
Using ultrasonic technology and hand scaling instruments, our hygienists carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line. The ultrasonic scaler uses gentle vibrations and water irrigation to break down stubborn deposits, while hand instruments provide precise removal in areas requiring detailed attention. This process eliminates bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay.
Polishing and Flossing
After plaque and tartar removal, your teeth receive professional polishing with a specially formulated paste that removes surface stains and creates a smooth finish. This polishing step not only enhances the appearance of your teeth but also makes it more difficult for bacteria to accumulate between visits. Our friendly hygienists will also floss between your teeth to remove any leftover debris.
General Dentistry is the Foundation of Preventive Care
Prevention is the most effective approach to maintaining a beautiful and healthy smile. Beyond regular exams and teeth cleaning, we provide:
Fluoride Applications
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent decay, particularly beneficial for children and adults at higher risk for cavities.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants provide additional protection by creating a barrier over the deep grooves in back teeth where food particles and bacteria commonly accumulate.
Custom-Fitted Night Guards
For patients experiencing teeth grinding or clenching, custom-fitted night guards protect teeth from excessive wear and reduce jaw tension that can lead to headaches and facial pain.
