- Toothache: A toothache is pain in or around a tooth, and your general dentist can diagnose the cause (like a cavity or infection) and provide treatment like fillings or root canals.
- Dry Tooth Socket: A dry socket is a painful complication after a tooth extraction where the blood clot doesn't form properly, and your dentist can help manage the pain and promote healing.
- Tooth Pulp Inflammation: Tooth pulp inflammation is a serious infection inside your tooth causing pain and discomfort, that requires prompt attention from your dentist for treatment.
- Cherubism: Characterized by overgrowth of the jawbones, cherubism affects the development of teeth and can lead to dental problems; your dentist can help manage these issues and prevent further complications.
- Lichen Planus: If you have mouth sores or white patches that may be lichen planus, your dentist can provide a diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and monitor the condition over time.
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.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Robinson:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing the risk of 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. Robinson 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. Robinson can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- 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 a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, used when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup, cavities, and gum disease, which can be costly and painful to treat if left unaddressed.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Robinson, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Dr. Robinson will discuss the best course of action for your specific situation.
- 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. Robinson 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.
