    • Malocclusion - Short Stature Syndrome: Early identification of malocclusion in individuals with short stature syndrome is crucial for preventing further oral health problems and ensuring proper jaw development.
    • Plicated Tongue: Managing a plicated tongue involves meticulous cleaning to reduce the risk of infection and cavities due to trapped food particles and bacteria, underscoring the benefits of proactive oral care.
    • Jaw Misalignment Leading to TMJ: Addressing jaw misalignment proactively prevents the development of TMJ disorders, which can cause chronic pain and limit your quality of life. See your dentist for an evaluation.
    • Gingival Fibromatosis - Facial Dysmorphism: Gingival fibromatosis, sometimes associated with facial features, is a rare condition where the gums overgrow, and early detection through regular dental checkups helps prevent complications like difficulty chewing or speaking.

    This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans are developed based on individual patient evaluations.

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

    How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning?
    At Dr. Anabelle DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our team 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 excellent 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 can be linked to other health problems.
    How is oral health connected to my overall health?
    Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, therefore, is an essential part of maintaining optimal body health.
    Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?
    Dr. Anabelle DDS 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 and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.
    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 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 tooth extraction.
    Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?
    Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using extremely low levels of radiation. They allow Dr. Anabelle DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better oral health.
    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.
