- Dislocated Jaw: Experiencing a painful, locked jaw? A general dentist can diagnose a dislocated jaw and offer treatment to restore proper alignment.
- Oral Motor Problems: Difficulty with chewing, swallowing, or speaking might indicate oral motor problems, which your dentist can assess and help treat.
- Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: Oral hairy leukoplakia, a harmless white lesion on the side of your tongue, is diagnosed and monitored by your dentist to ensure it doesn't indicate other health issues.
- Canker Sore: General dentists can help you manage painful canker sores by recommending over-the-counter treatments and providing guidance on maintaining good oral hygiene to reduce their frequency.
- Gingivitis: If your gums are sore, red, or bleed easily, you may have gingivitis, and your dentist can help you reverse it before it progresses to a more serious condition.
- Tooth Avulsion: Facing a knocked-out tooth? Your general dentist can expertly manage the situation, aiming to reinsert the tooth or providing solutions for replacing it.
- Cleft Lip and Palate: A cleft lip or palate is a gap or opening in the upper lip and/or the roof of the mouth present at birth; dentists are involved in addressing the dental and oral health aspects of this condition.

- Cone Beam 3D Imaging: Cone beam 3D imaging is a type of dental X-ray that provides detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, helping your dentist plan accurate treatments.
- Diode Laser Soft Tissue Treatment: Diode laser treatment is a precise way to manage gum disease, reshape gum tissue, and improve oral health.
- Pediatric Filling: To restore a damaged or decayed tooth in a child, a dentist uses a special type of filling designed for children's smaller teeth.
- Preventive Dental Care: With preventive dental care, you can protect your oral health and potentially even reduce your risk of serious health problems like heart disease.
- Root Canal: If a tooth's nerve is infected or dying, a root canal removes the infection, cleans the root canals, and seals them to prevent further damage and save the tooth.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. McEwen:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall well-being, 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 therefore essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth and gums, but also your overall health.
- 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. McEwen 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, jawbone and gum changes can make dentures less comfortable and secure. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the existing one is significantly worn. 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, restoring a natural look and feel, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- 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. McEwen will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease.
- 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 that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used for more extensive damage, cracks, or after a root canal to strengthen and protect the tooth.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup, cavities, and gum disease, which can be caught and treated early before they cause pain or become costly.
