A general dentist offers many treatment options for cavities. Having cavities is not the end of your tooth’s life, with the right treatment from your general dentist, who can restore your tooth. 

The short answer is no, dentists do not judge their patients for needing treatment. Dentists are healthcare professionals who are dedicated to helping patients improve their oral health by providing necessary treatments. They are trained to reserve their judgment and be empathetic towards their patients’ concerns.

A check-up allows your dentist to see if you have any dental problems and helps you keep your mouth healthy. Leaving a long time between check ups could mean that problems are more difficult to treat in the future, so it’s best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them altogether.
