Maryland Family & General Dentistry - Silver Spring

It is generally recommended to visit your dentist regularly for dental exams and cleanings — even if your teeth feel fine — to detect any problems early and maintain long-term oral health.

Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and along the gumline — areas that a toothbrush can’t reach — which helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

Your dentist can offer cosmetic dental treatments such as professional teeth whitening, veneers, or other procedures to improve the appearance of discolored or stained teeth.

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum sensitivity — if you notice these symptoms, you should schedule a dental evaluation.

We offer a full range of dental services — preventive care (cleanings, exams), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, root canals), cosmetic dentistry (crowns, veneers, whitening), children’s dentistry, dental implants, extractions, and more to meet the oral health needs of patients of all ages.
