As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Arbaugh offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess is a pus-filled pocket caused by a bacterial infection, and your general dentist is the expert to diagnose and treat this painful condition.
- Tooth Demineralization: When your teeth lose minerals, a process called demineralization, they become vulnerable to decay; regular checkups with your general dentist help detect and reverse early stages of demineralization.
- Dental Disorders: Many conditions impacting your teeth and gums are considered dental disorders, and your dentist is the specialist to diagnose and treat these concerns.
- Loose Teeth: Experiencing loose teeth? A general dentist can diagnose the problem, whether it's gum disease, injury, or bone loss, and recommend appropriate care.
- Toothache: A toothache signals a need for dental care. Your general dentist will find the causelike a cracked tooth or gum diseaseand develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Impacted Teeth: When a tooth fails to fully emerge from the gums, becoming impacted, a dentist can surgically remove it or develop a treatment plan to manage the issue.
- Halitosis: If you're concerned about bad breath (halitosis), your dentist can determine the source, which might be anything from poor oral hygiene to a more serious condition, and provide solutions.
- 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.
- Grinding of Teeth: If you suspect you're grinding your teeth, a visit to your dentist is important to assess any damage and create a plan to protect your teeth and prevent future issues.
- Sensitive Teeth: If your teeth ache intensely when you eat or drink something hot or cold, you might have sensitive teeth, a condition your dentist can diagnose and treat.
- Canker Sore: Canker sores are small, painful ulcers inside the mouth that your general dentist can help manage by suggesting remedies to soothe them and rule out more serious issues.
- Excessive Tooth Wear: Excessive tooth wear can lead to dental problems like tooth sensitivity and damage to the underlying dentin, making restorative treatments from your general dentist necessary to maintain your oral health.
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.

- Dental Crown: A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.
- Oral Cancer Screening: Oral cancer screenings are quick checks during your regular dental visit to detect any early signs of mouth cancer.
- Scaling and Root Planing: Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning that targets the roots of teeth affected by gum disease, helping to save your teeth and improve gum health.
- Nightguard: Nightguards are a preventative measure to safeguard your teeth and jaw from the damaging effects of teeth grinding.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Arbaugh:
- 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 the bloodstream, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about your 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 the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Arbaugh can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, changes in your jawbone and gums can cause dentures to loosen. Dr. Arbaugh can reline your dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Arbaugh, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. 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.
- 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. Arbaugh performs this vital part of every routine dental exam to help detect oral cancer early, when treatment is most successful.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Arbaugh can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- 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.
- 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 needed when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
