- Root Canal: A root canal is a procedure to repair and save a severely damaged or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp (nerve and blood vessels) inside.
- Composite Fillings: Instead of using metal, composite fillings use tooth-colored resin to fill cavities, creating a natural-looking repair.
- Extraction of Wisdom Tooth: To prevent infection, damage to nearby teeth, or cysts, a dentist may surgically extract wisdom teeth.
- Dental Crown: Dental crowns can improve the aesthetics of a tooth, covering discoloration or imperfections for a natural-looking result.
- Root Planing: Root planing is a treatment for gum disease that involves carefully scraping away infected tissue and tartar from the tooth roots to reduce inflammation.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Phan:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is directly linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is crucial for maintaining not just 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. Phan can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding while 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.
- 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.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Phan can reline existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is important for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Phan 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. Phan, can perform many root canals. 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. Phan.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless, yet vital part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Phan will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
