The Importance of General and Family Dentistry
General and family dentistry focuses on protecting and maintaining oral health for patients of all ages. Routine dental care is essential for preventing issues such as cavities, gum disease and oral infections that can compromise your smile. Dr. Leon and Dr. Tran emphasize the importance of early detection and regular maintenance to help you avoid extensive dental treatments in the future.
