As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Tadros offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Cavity: If you have a cavity, your dentist will remove the decayed part of your tooth and fill it to prevent infection and pain.
- Chipped Tooth: If you have a chipped tooth, your dentist can assess the damage and choose the best treatment option to restore its function and appearance.
- Dental Disorders: General dentists are trained to identify and manage a variety of dental disorders, ensuring proper oral hygiene and addressing issues like tooth decay or gum disease.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums that can damage the soft tissues and bones supporting your teeth, and your dentist can help manage it with cleanings and treatments.
- Tooth Abscess: Severe toothache, swelling, and sensitivity to heat or cold could mean a tooth abscess, a dental emergency requiring immediate attention from your dentist.
- Tooth Decay: When bacteria break down tooth enamel, it creates tooth decay; your dentist can diagnose and treat this with fillings, crowns, or other procedures.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

- Composite Fillings: Instead of using metal, composite fillings use tooth-colored resin to fill cavities, creating a natural-looking repair.
- Dental Crown: When a tooth is significantly decayed or broken, a crown acts like a protective shell to prevent further damage and improve its function.
- Teeth Scaling: Scaling helps to prevent gingivitis and periodontitis by eliminating bacteria and reducing inflammation around your teeth and gums.
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: Expect a thorough cleaning and polishing of your teeth and gums to remove bacteria and reduce inflammation during non-surgical gum treatment.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Tadros:
- 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. Tadros 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 by worn-down enamel. Dr. Tadros 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 while 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.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Tadros, 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. Tadros.
- 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.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, potentially causing dentures to loosen. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
- 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, providing strength and protection when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal.
