As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Mueller offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Lichen Planus: Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin and mucous membrane condition that can affect the mouth, causing white lacy patches or sores, and your dentist can help manage symptoms and monitor for complications.
- Mouth Conditions: From cavities and gum disease to oral sores and infections, mouth conditions are addressed by dentists who provide treatment and prevention strategies.
- Herpes Stomatitis: Herpes stomatitis, often appearing as painful sores inside the mouth, is a viral infection that your dentist can help you control and reduce its recurrence.
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder: Experiencing jaw pain, clicking, or headaches? Your general dentist can assess if you have a TMJ disorder and recommend appropriate treatment options like splints or other therapies.
- Dental Crowding: Dental crowding happens when your teeth are too crowded in your mouth, making it hard to clean and increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease; a general dentist can help with straightening or removing teeth to fix this.
- Anodontia: Anodontia is a condition where a person is born without one or more teeth.
- Impacted Teeth: Impacted teeth, often wisdom teeth, become trapped and don't come in properly, sometimes causing pain or infection, which your dentist can address.
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.

- Preseason Dental Exam: Protect your smile! A preseason dental exam allows your dentist to find and fix any dental problems that might worsen with increased activity.
- Pediatric Dental Exam: During a pediatric dental exam, the dentist will check your child's teeth and gums, looking for cavities, decay, and signs of gum disease.
- Dental Implant: If you're missing teeth, dental implants can act like real tooth roots, supporting crowns or dentures for a natural-looking and functioning smile.
- Digital X-Ray (CDR): A digital X-ray is a quick and painless way for your dentist to see inside your teeth and gums, detecting problems like decay or infections that aren't visible during a regular exam.
- Moderate Sedation: Moderate sedation is a safe and effective way to manage discomfort and anxiety during longer or more involved dental treatments.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Mueller:
- 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. Mueller can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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 a tooth is significantly 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 patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are essential for preventing problems like tartar buildup and early cavities or gum disease, which can become costly and painful if left untreated.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Mueller 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, restoring a natural look and feel, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- 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. Mueller will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Mueller, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Dr. Mueller will evaluate your situation and determine the best course of action.
