Make the Most of Your Dental Benefits Before Year-End for Strathmore Families
November 2, 2026
Going to the dentist isn’t top of mind for a lot of people but regular appointments are critical for healthy oral hygiene and long-term health. While Valley Dental Clinic provides a wide range of dental services, many people focus on general dentistry for overall oral health.
Below, our general dentistry guide in Strathmore and surrounding areas explains the different types of general dental services Valley Dental Clinic offers to customers of all ages.
What General Dental Services Do We Offer?
5 General Dentistry Services
Dental Cleanings and Checkups
Dental cleanings and checkups are vital for maintaining oral hygiene and overall health. We advise patients to brush and floss regularly between appointments and to come in at least twice a year for a full cleaning. Regular cleanings, flossing, and dental visits can help you avoid gingivitis, gum disease, and other health issues such as heart disease and stroke. Regular cleanings and checkups also reduce bad breath, prevent early tooth loss, remove stains, prevent cavities, and help identify oral cancer early.
Mouth Guards
Are you dealing with a sore jaw from teeth grinding, or looking to protect your pearly whites during sports? Mouth guards help relieve grinding-related pain and prevent injury from physical activity. Available in multiple colours, custom mouth guards provide protection day or night while you’re asleep and when you’re active during the day. Mouth guards protect your teeth by creating a barrier between your top and bottom teeth.
Tooth Extractions
There are many reasons why you may need a tooth extracted, including a broken tooth, severe decay, advanced periodontal disease, or a poorly positioned tooth in your mouth. Wisdom teeth can take up extra space in your mouth; extracting them creates additional room and is a common dental procedure for adults. Always follow your dentist’s wisdom tooth extraction aftercare instructions to ease any pain or discomfort you may experience.
Orthodontic Treatment
For teens and adults, orthodontics includes braces, retainers, expanders, and headgear, which can temporarily address various teeth and jaw problems. Orthodontics often involves straightening teeth or aligning a person’s bite. Valley Dental Clinic partners with Authentic Orthodontics to provide by-appointment-only orthodontic services.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who have anxiety and fear about having dental procedures. We provide intravenous (IV) conscious sedation to help patients feel less stressed or for longer dental visits. Whether you’ve had a bad experience at the dentist or prefer not to remember the procedure, sedation dentistry may be for you.
