As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Egloff offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Teething: While teething itself isn't a disease, dentists play a role in ensuring the proper eruption of teeth and addressing any related complications or concerns during this period.
- Tooth Damage: Tooth damage includes chips, cracks, or breaks in your teeth, and your general dentist can repair these issues with fillings, crowns, or bonding.
- Mouth Ulcer: If you have a mouth ulcer that's painful, bleeding, or doesn't heal quickly, see your general dentist to rule out any underlying issues and get appropriate care.
- Broken Tooth: Don't ignore a broken toothyour dentist can provide effective treatment to save your tooth and prevent more extensive dental work in the future.
- Infected Tooth Pulp: Tooth pain and swelling might mean your tooth's inner pulp is infected; your dentist can perform a root canal to save the tooth or remove it if necessary.
- Dental Injury: Your dentist is the best resource for treating dental injuries, from fixing chips and cracks to addressing more serious trauma to your teeth and jaw.
- Chronic Periodontitis: Chronic periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissues and bone supporting your teeth, and your dentist can help manage it with treatments like deep cleaning and medication.
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.

- Tooth Replant: This emergency dental procedure aims to preserve a damaged tooth by repositioning it in the jawbone.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Egloff:
- 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 the bloodstream, increasing your risk for 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, and it's a dental problem. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Egloff can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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. Egloff will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- 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 cavities and gum disease, as they allow the dental team to remove tartar buildup and catch issues early.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Egloff can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- 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 jawbone.
- 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.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Egloff, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Egloff. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, a referral may be made to an Endodontist (a root canal specialist) to ensure the best possible outcome.
