Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Preventive Dental care with Dr. Andrea DMD:
- How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning?
- At Dr. Andrea DMD, we recommend seeing a dentist and hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This crucial preventive step helps remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, allows us to catch cavities early, 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, importantly, gum disease, which can be linked to other health problems.
- How is oral health connected to my overall health?
- Oral health is intricately linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining not only a healthy mouth but also a healthy body.
- 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 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. Andrea DMD is needed to determine the cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.
- Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?
- Dr. Andrea DMD can help with mild to moderate sleep apnea. For some patients, we can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP. Please schedule a consultation to determine if you are a candidate.
- Do you perform oral cancer screenings?
- Yes, an oral cancer screening is a routine and important part of every dental check-up. Dr. Andrea will visually inspect the lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities, as early detection is key to successful treatment.
- 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. It's a common and effective way to preserve your smile.
