- Clicking of Temporomandibular Joint: A general dentist plays a key role in diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can cause clicking, pain, and limited jaw movement.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease is caused by bacteria buildup and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated; your dentist provides regular checkups and treatments to prevent and manage it.
- Canker Sore: Canker sores are small, painful ulcers inside the mouth that your general dentist can help manage by suggesting remedies to soothe them and rule out more serious issues.
- Sensitive Teeth: If your teeth ache intensely when you eat or drink something hot or cold, you might have sensitive teeth, a condition your dentist can diagnose and treat.
- Tender Gums: Sore or tender gums are a common problem a general dentist can help resolve, often through improved brushing techniques, professional cleaning, or treatment of underlying gum disease.
- Cavity: Your dentist diagnoses and treats cavities, which are holes in your teeth caused by bacteria and acids breaking down the enamel.
- Tooth Malformation: Tooth malformation refers to teeth that haven't developed normally, and a general dentist can identify these issues and discuss treatment options like bonding, veneers, or orthodontics.
- Chipped Tooth: Chipped teeth, whether small or large, should be seen by a dentist to prevent infection and improve the tooth's overall health.
- Tooth Abscess: Don't ignore a persistent toothache it might be a sign of a tooth abscess, a serious infection that your general dentist can diagnose and treat to prevent further complications.

- Amalgam Dental Fillings: Amalgam fillings are a type of tooth filling made from a mix of metals, used to repair cavities and protect the tooth from further damage.
- Dental Cleaning: Regular cleanings are a crucial part of preventing gum disease and cavities, keeping your smile bright and healthy.
- Dental Crown: If a tooth is severely weakened or cracked, a crown can provide the necessary support and protection.
- Dental Implant: To replace missing teeth permanently, dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and fuse with the bone over time, providing a stable base for new teeth.
- Root Canal: If a tooth's nerve is infected or dying, a root canal removes the infection, cleans the root canals, and seals them to prevent further damage and save the tooth.
- Tooth Replant: Successful tooth replantation depends on factors like how quickly the tooth is replanted and its overall condition.
- Pediatric Filling: If your child has a hole in their tooth from decay, a pediatric filling is used to fill the cavity and protect the tooth's structure.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Jones:
- 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 the 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. Jones 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 inspection of your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Jones performs this vital part of every routine dental exam to help detect oral cancer early, which is key to 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 like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums should 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. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months, even if they aren't experiencing any pain. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and catch issues early.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of damage, while a crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is more severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, to provide strength and protection.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, sometimes causing dentures to become loose. Dr. Jones can reline the existing denture to reshape it for a better fit, or create a new one if necessary. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
