- Broken Tooth: A broken tooth is a cracked or chipped tooth that needs a dentist's attention to prevent further damage and pain.
- Mouth Lesions: Mouth lesions are abnormal areas or sores in your mouth, and your general dentist can diagnose them and determine the best course of treatment, whether it's medication, surgery, or monitoring.
- Hutchinson Incisors: If you have Hutchinson incisors, a type of deformed tooth indicating possible past syphilis infection, your dentist can explain the condition and any necessary follow-up care.
- Cavity: A cavity, or dental caries, is a hole in your tooth caused by tooth decay that your dentist can fill to prevent further damage.
- Dental Spacing: Dental spacing refers to the gaps or spaces between your teeth, which your dentist can assess during routine checkups to identify potential issues and recommend solutions.
- Oral Infection: Oral infections can range from minor to severe, and a general dentist can identify the cause, provide treatment plans (like antibiotics or surgery), and help prevent future infections.
- Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: Oral hairy leukoplakia is a harmless white patch on your tongue, usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, that your dentist can monitor during routine checkups.

- Dental Infection Treatment: Dental infection treatment helps prevent serious complications like bone loss, abscesses, and spread of infection to other parts of the body.
- Porcelain Crown: If a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, or broken, a porcelain crown can act as a protective cover to prevent further damage and improve its function.
- Intraoral Camera: An intraoral camera is a small camera that your dentist uses to take detailed pictures of your teeth and gums, helping them spot any problems early.
- Dental Filling: A dental filling is a treatment to rebuild a damaged tooth and restore its shape and function after decay or injury.
- Pericoronitis: Pericoronitis is a gum infection affecting the area around a partially erupted tooth, often causing pain, swelling, and inflammation.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: This procedure uses titanium implants surgically placed into your jaw to support a bridge, restoring your smile and chewing ability.
- Endodontic Retreatment: When a root canal doesn't fully heal, retreatment involves a more extensive cleaning and sealing of the root canals to preserve the tooth.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Alexander:
- 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 of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining 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. Alexander can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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 they aren't experiencing any pain. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease. Our team can remove tartar buildup and identify issues early, which often means less expensive and more effective treatment.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, which can loosen dentures. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be needed if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is vital for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums, exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Alexander can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Alexander will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection 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.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists like Dr. Alexander 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 our office by Dr. Alexander.
