As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Jahangiri offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tongue-Tie: Tongue-tie is a condition where a short, thick band of tissue under the tongue restricts its movement, and a general dentist can help diagnose and sometimes treat it.
- Tender Gums: Experiencing tender gums? A general dentist can determine the cause, whether it's simple inflammation or something more complex, and provide appropriate treatment.
- Broken Dental Appliance: Don't ignore a broken dental appliance; your dentist can diagnose the problem and provide the necessary repair or replacement to improve your oral health.
- Cherubism: With cherubism, the jawbones swell, impacting tooth alignment and potentially causing dental issues; a general dentist can provide treatment and monitoring for affected teeth and gums.
- Chronic Periodontitis: If gum inflammation becomes severe and long-lasting, it's known as chronic periodontitis, requiring professional dental treatment to control infection and save your teeth.
- Canker Sore: General dentists can help you manage painful canker sores by recommending over-the-counter treatments and providing guidance on maintaining good oral hygiene to reduce their frequency.
- Open Bite: With an open bite, there's a gap between your upper and lower teeth when you bite down, and your general dentist can assess the cause and recommend solutions.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Jahangiri offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Root Canal Retreatment: When a previous root canal isn't successful, retreatment involves repeating the process to remove infection and seal the tooth's canals.
- Dental Bridge: If you're missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap, improving your smile, chewing ability, and speech.
- Amalgam Filling Removal: If you have concerns about mercury in your old silver fillings, amalgam removal safely extracts them to improve your oral health.
- Moderate Sedation: If you have dental anxiety, moderate sedation can help you tolerate procedures like extractions or implant placement.
- Special Needs Patients-General Care: General dentists provide specialized dental care for patients with disabilities or special needs, adapting techniques to ensure comfortable and effective treatment.
- Frenectomy: To address issues like difficulty breastfeeding, speech impediments, or gum recession caused by a tight frenulum, a dentist may perform a frenectomy, a minor surgical procedure to release the affected tissue.
- Teeth Scaling: This procedure is a key part of preventative dental care, keeping your teeth and gums healthy and reducing your risk of serious dental problems.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Jahangiri:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter the bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth but also your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Jahangiri can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, potentially causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Jahangiri can reline the dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge, restoring a natural look and feel, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup, cavities, and gum disease, which can be caught early and treated more easily.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Jahangiri will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Jahangiri can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Jahangiri, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to achieve the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Jahangiri.
