A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Camila Diaz provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Gingival Fibromatosis - Unusual Facies - Cafe-Au-Lait Pigmentation - Congenital Skin Telangiectases: If you have gingival fibromatosis or notice unusual facial features, skin discoloration, or telangiectases, seeking professional medical and dental care can help prevent further health issues.
• Impacted Teeth: An impacted tooth is a tooth that's stuck under the gum line or bone, and early detection through regular dental checkups can prevent potential infections or damage to neighboring teeth.
• Supernumary Teeth: Addressing supernumerary teeth prevents potential future issues such as difficulty cleaning, increased risk of decay and gum disease in hard-to-reach areas, and orthodontic complications.
• Jaw Irregularities: Preventing future dental complications, such as TMJ issues or uneven wear on teeth, starts with identifying and managing jaw irregularities early on through regular dental checkups.
• Black Hairy Tongue: Black hairy tongue, while usually harmless, can signal poor oral hygiene and early detection helps prevent further complications like bad breath or infection.
• Plicated Tongue: The extra folds in a plicated tongue can make thorough cleaning more challenging, so proactive strategies like using interdental brushes are crucial to prevent cavities and gum disease.
• Odontogenic Lesions: Many odontogenic lesions are manageable or preventable through diligent oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and prompt treatment of any emerging abnormalities in your mouth.

• Lumineers®: Lumineers offer a minimally invasive way to address cosmetic concerns like discoloration, chips, or gaps, safeguarding your teeth from more extensive procedures.
• Inlay Restoration: Strengthening your teeth and preventing the need for larger restorations is possible with inlay restorations, which act as a durable, custom-fitted filling for moderate decay.
• Incognito™ Invisible Braces: Proactively improve your oral health and facial aesthetics with Incognito™ Invisible Braces, a treatment that corrects teeth alignment and prevents potential complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Preventive Dental care with Dr. Camila Diaz:

How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning?

For most people, visiting Dr. Diaz and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This schedule allows us to remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, catch cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with meticulous brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, more importantly, gum disease, which has been linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is connected to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is crucial for maintaining both oral and overall body health.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition affecting the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Camila Diaz can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard, to prevent damage from grinding.

Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Diaz to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible, enabling early intervention and better treatment outcomes.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Diaz recommends a child's first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. This early visit is crucial for ensuring proper tooth development and establishing a positive dental home for the future.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Diaz can help with snoring and some cases of sleep apnea. For eligible patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, she can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep. This is a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP therapy.

What are veneers and how are they different from crowns?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. Crowns, on the other hand, are caps that cover the entire tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength after significant damage or decay.
