A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Chemika Juste 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:

• Occlusal Disease: Maintaining a healthy bite through regular dental checkups helps prevent occlusal disease, which can lead to discomfort and more extensive dental work down the line.
• Gingival Fibromatosis - Unusual Facies - Cafe-Au-Lait Pigmentation - Congenital Skin Telangiectases: Gingival fibromatosis, unusual facial features, café-au-lait spots, and skin telangiectases can sometimes indicate a genetic condition requiring early dental and medical intervention to prevent complications.
• Salivary Gland Cyst: A salivary gland cyst is a fluid-filled sac that can develop in your mouth, and early detection through regular dental checkups can prevent complications and discomfort.
• Cavity: Catching cavities early through regular checkups and cleanings helps prevent larger, more painful problems down the line and keeps your teeth healthy longer.
• Underbite: Managing an underbite helps avoid more serious issues down the line, such as temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), gum disease, and uneven wear of your teeth.
• Cherubism: Managing cherubism effectively through regular dental monitoring helps to prevent severe facial deformities and improve the quality of life.
• Amelogenesis Imperfecta: Amelogenesis imperfecta can significantly impact oral health, so understanding this genetic condition allows for early intervention and effective preventive strategies.

• Retainers: Retainers help maintain the straightness of your teeth after orthodontic treatment, preventing them from shifting back to their original position and ensuring a healthy, stable bite.

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

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

At Dr. Chemika Juste's practice, we recommend seeing your dentist and hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This schedule helps prevent tartar buildup, which brushing alone can't remove, and allows us to detect cavities early and screen for gum disease or 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, importantly, gum disease, which has links to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is intricately linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the modern gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are titanium posts that act like artificial tooth roots, which are then topped with a natural-looking crown. This helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of adjacent teeth.

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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Chemika Juste can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. She can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, an oral cancer screening is a routine and important part of every dental check-up. Dr. Chemika Juste will visually inspect the lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities, as early detection is key to successful treatment.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Chemika Juste can assess your oral health to ensure you're a good candidate and offer professional-grade treatments, like custom trays or in-office procedures, for better and safer results than over-the-counter products.
