• Tooth Malformation: Early detection of tooth malformation is key to preventing complications like misaligned bites, difficulty chewing, and potential speech impediments, emphasizing the role of preventive dentistry.
• Canker Sore: While most canker sores heal on their own, paying attention to their frequency and severity helps identify potential nutritional deficiencies or stress factors impacting your oral health.
• Tooth Abscess: Managing oral health effectively through regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings helps reduce your risk of developing a tooth abscess and its associated pain and discomfort.

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

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

At Dr. Adele DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This helps remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, catch cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with excellent 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 can be linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

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

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the teeth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Adele DMD is needed to determine the cause and recommend effective treatments, like desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?

Gingivitis is an early, reversible stage of gum disease characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious stage where the bone supporting the teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Adele DMD 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.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

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