As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Savoy offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Canker Sore: If you have a canker sore, a recurring painful mouth ulcer, your dentist can assess it, provide relief options, and help determine if it's something more serious.
- Ankylosis of Tooth: Ankylosis of a tooth means the tooth's root is fused to the jawbone, preventing it from moving normally, and a general dentist can help diagnose and potentially treat this condition.
- Gum Cancer: General dentists are trained to recognize the signs of gum cancer during routine oral exams and can refer you to specialists for further treatment if necessary.
- Black Hairy Tongue: Your dentist can help manage black hairy tongue, a condition causing a dark, furry appearance on your tongue due to elongated papillae, usually resolved with better cleaning techniques.
- Tooth Pulp Inflammation: If the soft tissue within your tooth becomes infected or irritated, leading to pain and sensitivity, this is tooth pulp inflammation and your dentist can help relieve the pain and prevent further damage.
- Tooth Damage: Tooth damage includes chips, cracks, or breaks in your teeth, and your general dentist can repair these issues with fillings, crowns, or bonding.
- Gaps Between Teeth: A general dentist can diagnose the cause of gaps in your teeth and develop a personalized treatment plan, potentially involving orthodontics, bonding, or other restorative procedures.
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. Savoy offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Amalgam Dental Fillings: If you have a cavity, your dentist may use a silver-colored amalgam filling to restore the tooth's structure and prevent further decay.
- Composite Fillings: A composite filling is a safe and effective way to restore a decayed tooth and improve its appearance and function.
- General Anesthesia: Some patients choose general anesthesia for extensive dental work to minimize anxiety and ensure a completely comfortable experience.
- Lower Dentures: Lower dentures are removable replacements for missing lower teeth, restoring your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
- Dental Infection Treatment: Dental infection treatment helps prevent serious complications like bone loss, abscesses, and spread of infection to other parts of the body.
- Onlay Restoration: An onlay is a more durable and extensive restoration than a filling, suitable for teeth with larger areas of damage that need more substantial repair.
- Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®): LANAP® uses lasers to treat gum disease, helping to regenerate gum tissue and improve overall gum health without the need for traditional surgery.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Savoy:
- 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 your bloodstream, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth and gums, 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. Savoy can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Savoy, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Savoy.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Savoy can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are crucial for preventing problems, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and identify small cavities or gum disease early.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual examination of your mouth, including your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat, to check for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Savoy performs this important screening during every routine dental exam, as early detection is crucial for successful treatment.
- 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 that looks and feels natural, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious gum disease.
