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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Amir DMD and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This 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 excellent home care, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, more 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 deeply connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Amir 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, for better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a procedure to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. This treatment relieves pain and prevents the need for a tooth extraction. Dr. Amir DMD is dedicated to providing this necessary and effective treatment.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Amir DMD can help with snoring and some cases of mild to moderate sleep apnea. For eligible patients, we offer a comfortable, custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night to keep the airway open, providing an alternative to CPAP.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Amir recommends a child's first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. This early visit helps ensure proper tooth development and establishes a positive dental home for future care.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

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