As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Anbar offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Oral Thrush (Candidiasis): If you have painful white patches or soreness in your mouth, it may be oral thrush, treatable by your dentist.
- Cavity: Your dentist diagnoses and treats cavities, which are holes in your teeth caused by bacteria and acids breaking down the enamel.
- Canker Sore: A canker sore is a small, shallow lesion that develops inside your mouth, and your dentist can offer advice on how to treat the discomfort and prevent future occurrences.
- Tooth Abscess: If you have a throbbing pain and swelling near a tooth, you may have an abscess, a serious infection your dentist can treat with root canal therapy or extraction.
- Crossbite: Crossbite happens when your top and bottom teeth don't line up correctly, leading to potential jaw problems that your dentist can address.
- Tooth Malformation: If your teeth have unusual shapes or sizes due to a condition called tooth malformation, a general dentist is the right professional to help you understand and manage this issue.
- Periodontitis: Periodontitis is an advanced stage of gum disease, causing your gums to pull away from your teeth, and your dentist offers various treatment options to stop its progression.
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.

- Impacted Tooth Removal: If a tooth is impacted (trapped under the gum line or bone), your dentist might recommend removal to prevent infection or damage to nearby teeth.
- Oral Surgical Procedures: Some oral surgical procedures are done to diagnose or treat conditions that affect the gums, jawbone, or surrounding tissues.
- Tooth Replant: This emergency dental procedure aims to preserve a damaged tooth by repositioning it in the jawbone.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Anbar:
- 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 for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only 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. Anbar can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Anbar, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Anbar will evaluate your specific situation and determine the best course of action.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of damage, while a crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, potentially causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Anbar can reline the existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new denture if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, which can be caught early and treated before they become painful or expensive.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Anbar can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- 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 good option for you.
