Black patients and General Dentistry
Black dentists: cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals. Black adults face twice the rate of untreated dental decay, so consistent dental care matters.
Black adults are twice as likely to have untreated tooth decay as white adults (CDC NHANES, 2022), and Black children are 50 percent more likely to suffer untreated caries. Only about 3.8 percent of U.S. dentists are Black, and Black patients report higher rates of dismissive or rushed care from non-Black providers (ADA, 2023). General dentists cover the full spectrum of routine care: cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, root canals.
What general dentistry covers
- Cleanings and exams (every 6 months)
