A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Anju DDS 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:

• Dental Crowding: Preventing future dental problems starts with early detection of crowded teeth; orthodontic intervention can help avoid more complex and costly procedures later.
• Tooth Abrasion: Early detection of tooth abrasion allows for timely intervention, such as adjusting brushing techniques or using fluoride treatments, minimizing further enamel loss and preventing future problems.
• Oral Lichenoid Lesions: Oral lichenoid lesions are harmless-appearing mouth sores that, if left unchecked, can sometimes develop into more serious issues, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and prevention.
• Limited Tooth Movement: Limited tooth movement can be a sign of gum disease or other underlying oral health problems, highlighting the importance of regular checkups for early detection and prevention.
• Dentinogenesis Imperfecta, Shield's Type II: Managing Shield's Type II Dentinogenesis Imperfecta through consistent dental visits and tailored preventative measures helps protect against tooth loss and ensures long-term oral health.
• Dentinogenesis Imperfecta - Short Stature - Hearing Loss - Mental Retardation: Because Dentinogenesis Imperfecta can involve weakened teeth, hearing, and other health concerns, preventative care focuses on early identification and management of oral and systemic complications.
• Orthodontic Disorders: Early detection and correction of orthodontic issues are crucial to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health complications later in life.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Anju DDS offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• SureSmile® Dental Braces: Improve your smile and overall health with SureSmile® braces; properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, leading to better gum health.
• Essix Retainer: An Essix retainer helps maintain the straightness of your teeth after orthodontic treatment, preventing them from shifting and potentially needing further correction.
• Spacers for Braces: Spacers for braces help prepare your teeth for braces by gently creating space for them, preventing potential complications during treatment.
• Sirona Galileos Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): For comprehensive oral health assessment, a Galileos CBCT scan allows dentists to create detailed 3D images for improved planning of treatment, such as implants or complex procedures, preventing future complications.
• Intraoral Camera: Empower your oral health journey by using an intraoral camera. This tool aids in the early detection of cavities, gum disease, and other oral conditions, ensuring timely and effective intervention.
• Six Month Smiles: Take proactive steps towards a healthier smile with Six Month Smiles; it's a shorter-term orthodontic treatment focused on improving the appearance and alignment of your front teeth, potentially reducing the risk of bite issues.
• Dental Filling: Early detection and treatment of tooth decay with a filling avoids the need for more extensive dental work and safeguards your long-term dental health.

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

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

At Dr. Anju DDS, we recommend seeing a dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This helps 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 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 has been linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is closely linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining good overall health.

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.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Anju DDS can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. For these patients, we can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep. This is a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

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

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 (molars). 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.
