- Oral Motor Problems: Oral motor problems can impact eating, drinking, and speech; your dentist plays a role in diagnosis and recommending treatment options.
- Grinding of Teeth: Do you wake up with jaw pain or headaches? You might be grinding your teeth at night, a problem your dentist can help manage to protect your teeth and alleviate discomfort.
- Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: During routine dental exams, your dentist checks for signs of oral squamous cell carcinoma, a type of mouth cancer, and can help you access necessary treatment if needed.
- Edentulism: Losing all your teeth (edentulism) can have serious consequences, but your dentist can provide dentures, implants, or bridges to restore your smile and function and prevent further health issues.
- Loose Teeth: Loose teeth are often treatable, depending on the cause; your general dentist can assess the situation and offer solutions like splinting, periodontal treatment, or extractions.
- Receding Gums: Receding gums, which make your teeth look longer, are a sign of gum disease or other oral health issues; your dentist can determine the cause and offer solutions, such as deep cleaning or gum surgery, to help restore your gumline.
- 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.
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.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Nguyen offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:

- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: This treatment aims to prevent gum disease from worsening by addressing inflammation and infection with scaling and root planing.
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: This specialized surgery addresses problems like impacted wisdom teeth, jaw fractures, and oral cysts, using techniques to repair or remove affected areas.
- Restoring Teeth: Restorative procedures, such as fillings and crowns, repair teeth to prevent further damage and improve your smile.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Nguyen:
- 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 for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about healthy teeth; it's essential for 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 your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Nguyen 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 essential for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and identify issues early.
- 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 loosen. Dr. Nguyen can reline existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if necessary. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- 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. If you have sufficient jawbone health, implants may be a great option for you.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Nguyen 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. Nguyen, 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. Nguyen.
- 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. Nguyen performs this vital part of every routine exam to help detect potential problems early, which is key to successful treatment.
