As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. McBryde-Henderson offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Underbite: If your bottom teeth stick out beyond your top teeth, you have an underbite, which your general dentist can evaluate and create a treatment plan to correct.
- Dislocated Jaw: A dislocated jaw is a painful condition where the joint connecting your jaw to your skull is misaligned; your dentist can help treat and manage this issue.
- Gum Disease: Swollen, red, or bleeding gums are signs of gum disease, a serious condition your dentist can detect and treat to help preserve your teeth and overall oral health.
- Chipped Tooth: Don't ignore a chipped tooth! Your general dentist can provide treatment, ranging from simple repair to more extensive restorative work.
- Burning Mouth Syndrome: Burning mouth syndrome is characterized by a chronic burning pain in the mouth, and your dentist plays a key role in ruling out other oral health issues and providing relief.
- Cleft Palate: Cleft palate is a condition present at birth where there's an opening in the roof of the mouth; your general dentist can help manage this by coordinating care with other specialists, including orthodontists and surgeons.
- Dental Disorders: Dental disorders are any condition that affects the health of your mouth, and a general dentist provides comprehensive care to maintain or restore oral health.
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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. McBryde-Henderson:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. 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. McBryde-Henderson can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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 the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. McBryde-Henderson performs this important screening during every routine dental exam. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, making dentures loosen. Dr. McBryde-Henderson can reline existing dentures or create new ones, depending on the condition, to restore a comfortable and secure fit. A proper fit is important for comfortable eating and speaking.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. McBryde-Henderson, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, 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. McBryde-Henderson.
- 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.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. McBryde-Henderson 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, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup, cavities, and gum disease, which can become painful or costly to treat if left unaddressed.
