A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Alyce DMD 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:

• Crossbite: Early intervention with a crossbite can prevent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and the need for extensive dental work down the road.
• Facial Ectodermal Dysplasia: Facial ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic condition affecting teeth, skin, and sweat glands, making early diagnosis crucial for managing oral health complications and preventing infections.
• Protruding Front Teeth: To maintain a healthy and functional bite, early detection and management of protruding front teeth are vital for preventing more complex issues down the line.
• Ectopic Eruption: Regular dental visits help prevent problems caused by ectopic tooth eruption, ensuring your teeth grow in properly and reducing the need for complex orthodontic treatments down the line.
• Dentinogenesis Imperfecta, Shield's Type III: Because Dentinogenesis Imperfecta, Shield's Type III, weakens tooth structure, proactive dental care, including preventative treatments, is essential to minimize the risk of tooth fracture and infection.
• Lip Cancer: Early detection of lip cancer through self-exams and professional dental checkups allows for less invasive treatment and better long-term prognosis.
• Chronic Periodontitis: Preventing chronic periodontitis starts with maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits; early detection and treatment can stop the disease from progressing and damaging your gums and teeth.

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

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

At Dr. Alyce DMD, we recommend seeing your dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This helps remove tartar buildup that daily brushing can't, allows for early detection of cavities, and screens 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 is linked 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, or 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 body health.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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 your teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

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.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They're a powerful preventive tool, primarily for children and teenagers, that seal out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

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