• Salivary Gland Cyst: Preventative dental checkups are crucial for identifying salivary gland cysts early; prompt diagnosis ensures less invasive management and protects your overall oral health.
• Congenital Nasal Deformity: Because nasal breathing is crucial for proper oral health, a congenital nasal deformity might lead to mouth breathing, increasing cavity risk; early intervention can help manage this.
• Excessive Tooth Wear: Excessive tooth wear, often unnoticed until advanced, can lead to increased sensitivity and tooth damage, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and preventive treatment.

• Tooth Attrition: Attrition, the gradual wearing down of teeth, can be significantly reduced by adopting preventive habits and seeking professional dental advice, ensuring a long-term, healthy smile.

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

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

At Dr. Amy DMD, we recommend seeing your dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows us to remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, detect cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This process is crucial for preventing cavities and gum disease, which is linked to other health problems, including 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 linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is therefore crucial for maintaining optimal body health.

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. Amy DMD is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as 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 your teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

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.

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. Amy DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from teeth grinding.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Amy 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.
