As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Dhaon offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- 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.
- Broken Tooth: If you have a broken tooth, your dentist can repair it with a filling, crown, or other restorative treatment to restore its function and appearance.
- Chipped Tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can cause pain and sensitivity; a general dentist can fix the chip, preventing further problems.
- Malocclusion (Bad Bite): Malocclusion, or an incorrect bite alignment, can affect your facial appearance and oral health; your dentist can help correct this with various orthodontic options.
- Cleft Lip and Palate: Cleft lip and palate are birth defects that cause openings in the lip and/or roof of the mouth, and general dentists often play a key role in the long-term care and management of these conditions.
- Dental Spacing: Uneven spacing between teeth, or dental spacing, can be addressed by your dentist through various methods depending on the cause and severity.
- Dry Mouth: If you have dry mouth, it means you're not producing enough saliva, which can lead to dental problems; your dentist can provide relief and preventive strategies.
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. Dhaon offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Dental Sealant: To protect your children's teeth from decay, dental sealants act as a barrier against food and bacteria.
- Dental Infection Treatment: Dental infection treatment helps prevent serious complications like bone loss, abscesses, and spread of infection to other parts of the body.
- Lower Dentures: Lower dentures are removable replacements for missing lower teeth, restoring your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
- Six Month Smiles: Six Month Smiles uses a specialized type of braces to improve the appearance of your smile by addressing minor alignment issues in a shorter timeframe.
- Complex Tooth Extraction: This procedure involves more advanced techniques than a simple extraction, often requiring surgical tools and potentially stitches.
- Crown Lengthening: If a tooth is too short for a crown, crown lengthening surgery reshapes the gum and bone to expose more of the tooth, allowing for a proper crown placement.
- Restorative Procedure: From fillings to crowns, restorative procedures help bring back the health and beauty of your smile after damage or decay.
Service availability can change. To understand which services are appropriate for your specific health needs, please schedule a consultation to develop a personalized care plan.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Dhaon:
- 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 of 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. Dhaon 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, the jawbone and gums change shape, sometimes causing dentures to become loose. Dr. Dhaon can perform a relining procedure to reshape the denture for a better fit, or create a new denture if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is important for comfortable eating and speaking.
- 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 and early cavities or gum disease, which can become painful or expensive to treat if left unaddressed.
- 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. Dhaon will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding while 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, but if left untreated can progress to more serious gum disease.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Dhaon, 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. Dhaon.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Dhaon can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
