Surely you have heard of it, but... what is general dentistry? In the same way that when you visit your primary doctor, general dentistry is responsible for the first level of care for oral problems. Basically, it is the first contact of the patient with the specialist.

General dentistry, or stomatology, in addition to teeth, is responsible for the stomatognathic system in general: gums, periodontal tissue, upper and lower jaws, tongue, palate, jaw joint, oral mucosa, floor of the mouth and the lips.
