As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Bohan offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Gum Cancer: Gum cancer is a serious disease affecting the gums, and your general dentist plays a vital role in detecting it early through regular checkups and screenings.
- 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.
- Lichen Planus: Characterized by white, lacy patches or sores in the mouth, lichen planus is a condition your dentist can monitor and treat to ease discomfort and prevent complications.
- Crooked Teeth: If your teeth are crooked, a general dentist can evaluate the issue and recommend solutions such as braces or Invisalign to straighten them, improving both your smile and oral health.
- Misshapen Teeth: Having teeth that are unusually shaped or positioned can affect your bite and self-confidence; a general dentist can diagnose the issue and discuss various solutions, including cosmetic dentistry.
- Occlusal Disease: Occlusal disease refers to problems with how your upper and lower teeth fit together, impacting your bite and potentially causing jaw pain, headaches, or tooth wear, and your dentist can help diagnose and treat these issues.
- Orofacial Infection: Your dentist plays a key role in managing orofacial infections, which are infections in the mouth and face, providing treatment to resolve the infection and prevent complications.
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. Bohan offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Amalgam Dental Fillings: If you have a cavity, your dentist may use a silver-colored amalgam filling to restore the tooth's structure and prevent further decay.
- Oral Cancer Screening: Your dentist visually examines your mouth and may use special tools to look for any unusual spots or sores that could be cancerous.
- Sinus Augmentation: Before getting dental implants in the upper jaw, sinus augmentation may be needed to add bone, creating a stable area for the implants to fuse.
- Root Canal: When decay or trauma deeply affects a tooth, a root canal is performed to remove the infected pulp, disinfect the area, and fill it to prevent future infection.
- Preseason Dental Exam: A preseason dental exam is a checkup to ensure your mouth is healthy before sports or activities that could cause dental injuries.
- Dental Laser Procedure: During a laser procedure, your dentist might use a laser to treat sensitive teeth, remove small growths, or perform other minimally invasive treatments.
- Digital X-Ray (CDR): These advanced X-rays provide clear images that assist in creating the best treatment plan for your individual needs, whether it's a filling, crown, or other procedure.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Bohan:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not just healthy teeth, but also 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. Bohan can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Bohan 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. A crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, used when the tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing strength and protection.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Bohan, 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. Bohan.
- 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. Bohan 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 natural, and help preserve the jawbone.
- 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), which can progress to more serious gum disease if left untreated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
