- Halitosis: If you're concerned about bad breath (halitosis), your dentist can determine the source, which might be anything from poor oral hygiene to a more serious condition, and provide solutions.
- Jaw Cyst: A jaw cyst is a fluid-filled sac that can develop in your jawbone, and your general dentist can diagnose and treat it to prevent complications.
- Tooth Damage: From simple cosmetic fixes to more complex restorative procedures, a general dentist is equipped to handle a wide range of tooth damage scenarios.
- Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: A dentist can detect oral hairy leukoplakia, a painless white patch usually found on the side of the tongue, and make sure it's not a sign of anything more serious.
- Loose Teeth: Don't ignore loose teeth a general dentist can provide treatment options to stabilize the teeth or replace them if necessary to maintain your oral health.
- Hypodontia: Having fewer than the usual number of adult teeth is called hypodontia. Your general dentist can assess your specific situation and recommend ways to fill those gaps, ensuring both function and aesthetics.
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. Sr:
- 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 your 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. Sr. 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 worn-down enamel. Dr. Sr. 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 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. Sr. will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- 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, used when the tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, to provide strength and protection.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, changes in the jawbone and gums can cause dentures to loosen. 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 important for comfortable eating and speaking.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding 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.
- 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.
