General dentistry is the everyday care that keeps your mouth healthy: regular cleanings and exams, X-rays, fillings, and treatment when something hurts or breaks. Seeing the same general dentist over time means problems get caught early, when they're smaller and easier to fix.
At Ethos Advanced Dental Care in Temecula, your general care includes:
We remove plaque and tartar, check every tooth and your gums, and screen for problems you can't see or feel.
Schick digital X-rays can reduce radiation exposure by up to 80% compared with film.
Very early cavities can often be treated with Curodont, with no drill and no numbing.
Fillings, crowns and root canals to fix damage before it turns into a bigger problem.
Have kids? We see patients of all ages. See family dentistry.
Here's what to expect at your first appointment with us.
We go over your medical history, medications and any concerns you have about your teeth.
Low-radiation digital X-rays show what's happening between and below your teeth.
Your dentist checks each tooth, your gums, your bite and the soft tissues of your mouth.
Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar and polishes your teeth, or schedules a deeper cleaning if your gums need it.
If anything needs treatment, we explain your options, timing and cost before anything is done.

Most people should have a cleaning and exam every six months. If you have gum disease or a higher risk of cavities, we may recommend visits every three to four months.
Most PPO plans cover two cleanings and exams a year, often at little or no cost to you. We check your benefits before your visit so you know what to expect.
