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

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

At Dr. Arianna DMD, we recommend seeing your dentist and dental hygienist every six months. This schedule is crucial for removing tartar buildup, which brushing alone can't effectively address, catching cavities early, and screening for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with meticulous 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 is linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining optimal oral and systemic health.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition affecting the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Arianna DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Arianna DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. For these patients, a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night can effectively keep the airway open, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP. We will work with you to determine if this is an appropriate option.

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. Arianna DMD is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

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 are dental implants?

Dental implants are the modern gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are titanium posts that act like artificial tooth roots, supporting a natural-looking crown. This approach prevents bone loss and preserves the health of surrounding teeth.
