Show Off a Beautiful Smile With General Dental Treatment
Our team offers you several types of general dentistry treatments:
- Dental Cleanings and Exams – We’ll first give you a complete exam, including screening you for oral cancer. Then we’ll thoroughly clean and polish your teeth to give you that fresh-from-the-dentist feeling. If we find any problems, we’ll make recommendations for other treatments.
- Preventive Treatments – Fluoride treatment will help strengthen and remineralize your tooth enamel. Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that form a protective barrier against disease-causing bacteria. Both can help you avoid cavities.
- Gum Disease Treatment – We’ll examine you for signs of gum disease and recommend further treatment if needed. We’ll use special instruments to remove built up plaque and tartar during a deep cleaning. Then we’ll smooth your teeth roots to help prevent bacteria from collecting there.
- Custom Mouthguards – Our professional mouthguards can be made for any of several purposes. We offer custom mouthguards to protect your and your family’s teeth during sports. We can also make a custom appliance to stop harmful teeth grinding. Finally, if you have TMJ pain, our appliances will relieve tension on your jaw joints so they can begin to heal.
- Dry Mouth Treatment – To assist you in managing this condition, we offer a line of products from PerioSciences®. They help keep your mouth lubricated, so you feel more comfortable and avoid other oral problems like cavities.
- Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment – We’ll screen you for gum disease, a major cause of halitosis, and recommend treatment as needed. We may also recommend oral probiotics and PerioSciences products to help with your breath problem.
Call our team today at 352-376-3400 to schedule an appointment. You can also request an appointment online. To keep your smile healthy and bright, see Taylor Dentistry for general dentistry in Gainesville.

I recently had a crown put on. The dentist was Dr. Taylor. Oddly after the competent clinician did the preliminary she contacted Dr. Taylor, but she did not get a reply. She left the room to get the dentist. She was gone for some time. When she returned another dentist I have never meant continued with setting the crown. No introduction or explanation why she was replacing Dr. Taylor! I appreciate the explanation for what happened! The dentists and staff are all extremely knowledgeable and skilled. They show thoughtful care and work so well as a team!

I always look forward to my visits! Dr. Taylor is incredibly thorough with her exams, she took the time to check my neck, jaw, and joints, and really focused on my grinding habits and how the movement of my teeth was causing chipping. Cara has been cleaning my teeth for years and always makes me feel so comfortable (and gives me those gentle reminders to floss more 😅). The front desk team is always kind, and I love seeing Tracy every time! The office is so clean, beautifully decorated, and feels so warm and homey.

Dr.Taylor was very thorough in my examination and explained my dental issues, allowing time for questions and answers. Her “chair side” manner is gentle, kind and caring. Her staff is friendly. Dr. Taylor’s assistant Audrey was also very professional and explained everything that she was doing before she did it. Tracy at the front desk was very informative and helpful in addressing my questions and concerns about insurance and billing. She promptly emailed my X-rays and photos the same day of the appointment. Overall I was very pleased with the care that I received at Taylor Dentistry.

Common Questions About General Dentistry
Daily oral hygiene is essential to keeping your mouth clean and healthy. But as important as brushing and flossing are, they aren’t enough on their own to protect your teeth and gums. General dentistry covers a wide range of treatments designed to help you prevent and detect dental problems, so you can keep your oral health on track.
Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least two times a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you’re unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.
Fluoride, a mineral found in many foods and water, helps prevent cavities by making your tooth enamel stronger. It can even reverse early-stage decay. Since it contributes to the development of healthy teeth, children under 12 may benefit from fluoride treatment. In addition, cavity-prone adults may benefit as well. Ask us about fluoride if you have dry mouth, gum disease, or wear braces or other orthodontia.
