As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Hampton offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder: A TMJ disorder affects the joint that lets you open and close your mouth, causing pain and limited range of motion; general dentists often provide initial diagnosis and treatment plans for these issues.
- Tooth Demineralization: Enamel erosion, also known as demineralization, weakens tooth structure and increases the likelihood of cavities and dental problems; your dentist can identify and treat it to protect your teeth.
- Bad Taste in Mouth: Don't ignore a strange taste in your mouth it could indicate an infection, dry mouth, or other dental problem that your dentist can diagnose and address.
- Underbite: Having an underbite means your lower jaw is positioned too far forward, and your general dentist can advise on solutions to improve its alignment and your bite.
- Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: Oral hairy leukoplakia, a harmless white lesion on the side of your tongue, is diagnosed and monitored by your dentist to ensure it doesn't indicate other health issues.
- Tooth Loss: Losing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile, but a general dentist offers various solutions like implants and dentures to restore your teeth.
- Chipped Tooth: If you have a chipped tooth, your dentist can assess the damage and choose the best treatment option to restore its function and appearance.
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. Hampton:
- 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 good overall health.
- 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. Hampton 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?
- No, 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, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious gum disease.
- 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 lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat. Dr. Hampton will look for any unusual sores or discolorations during your routine check-up. Early detection is crucial for 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. Hampton can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of a damaged tooth, while a crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Hampton, are trained to 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. Hampton.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, making dentures less comfortable and secure. Dr. Hampton 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 essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
