Quick answer
General dentistry at Innisfil Dental Smile Solutions covers oral and tooth exams, periodontal checks, dental cleanings, digital X-rays, root canals, and pediatric care. Most patients are seen for a cleaning and exam every six months. We care for all ages and accept CDCP-eligible patients.
Many dental problems can be prevented when you visit regularly. Routine oral examinations let our dentists catch early signs of decay, gum disease, or oral cancer — often before you feel any symptoms.

Our general dentistry services
Oral & tooth examinations
Comprehensive exams of your teeth and oral structures to find decay, disease, or anything out of the ordinary, with clear solutions for your age and lifestyle.
Oral cancer & periodontal exams
Early oral-cancer screening plus periodontal checks of the gums and supporting bone to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease.
Biting, chewing & grinding checks
We identify problems like cheek-biting or subconscious teeth grinding and provide the therapy or appliance you need.
Dental cleanings
Professional cleanings remove the plaque and calculus that brushing and flossing can’t, minimizing cavities and gum issues.
Digital X-rays
Low-radiation digital X-rays reveal cavities, bone levels, and issues not visible during a visual exam.
Root canal treatment
A safe, effective way to treat infected tooth pulp, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth — with a calm, relaxed experience.
Pediatric (family) dentistry
We help children build healthy habits in a friendly setting. Note: we are family-friendly but do not have a pediatric dentist on staff.
Frequently asked questions
What happens during a general dental examination?
A general dental examination includes an oral exam, a tooth-by-tooth assessment, and checks of your bite, chewing, and grinding habits. Your dentist looks for early signs of cavities, gum disease, wear, or structural issues to help prevent more serious problems.
How often should I get a dental cleaning and oral exam?
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning and oral examination every six months. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing cannot, while exams help detect issues early — often before pain or visible symptoms appear.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Modern digital X-rays use very low radiation and are safe for patients of all ages. They are a routine part of general dentistry, used to detect cavities, infections, bone loss, and impacted teeth not visible during a visual exam.
When is a root canal needed?
Root canal treatment is recommended when the inside of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. The procedure removes the infection, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth — often preventing the need for an extraction.
When should my child first see the dentist?
Children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help children get comfortable and support healthy habits from a young age.
