There is so much more than meets the eye regarding this dental care! Many think of general dentistry as just a routine checkup and cleaning twice a year, but Dr. Christopher Nguyen offers plenty of other services designed to significantly improve your oral and overall wellness. At Aura Dental, our Brooklyn general dentist can address the following (but not limited to) health problems:
Gum Disease
Gum disease isn’t only bad for your chompers; it can also seriously impact your overall health. Plaque buildup causes inflammation, spreading throughout your body, leading to chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, not to mention the fact that advanced periodontal disease can cause bad breath and tooth loss—yikes!
Fortunately, our general dentist has a few tricks up their sleeve to help treat gum disease. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, he might recommend dental deep cleaning, periodontal therapy, or another service to get your gums feeling healthy and happy in no time!
Misalignment
Misaligned teeth can rob anyone of their confident smile and, as a result, their self-esteem. But don’t worry; you don’t have to visit an orthodontist to straighten things out. With Invisalign®, our general dentist can help improve your bite and eliminate dental issues without the chafing and food-caught-in-the-teeth issues of traditional braces. Dr. Nguyen can map out your treatment plan using sophisticated 3D imaging technology so you know exactly what to expect during Invisalign treatment.
TMJ Disorder
If you’ve been experiencing headaches, pain in your jaw, or a clicking sound when you open your mouth, you might suffer from TMJ disorder. Fortunately, our general dentist can help you alleviate these symptoms and get you back to feeling like yourself again. The first step they’ll take is to examine your jaw to see what’s causing the problem. This could be due to misaligned teeth, congenital conditions, or a traumatic injury to your jaw.
Depending on the cause, Dr. Nguyen might recommend a few treatments, such as a mouthguard to protect your teeth from grinding or injectables to relax the jaw. Our dentist will work with you to find the best treatment plan for your specific needs, so don’t be afraid to ask questions and share your concerns.
Oral Surgery
Healthy Mouth, Healthy Body
In closing, it’s important to remember that general oral health is a big part of overall well-being, and general dentists are your go-to provider for almost all oral health issues. While not all general dentists offer these comprehensive services, Dr. Nguyen can deliver even more than you expect.
