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

• Occlusal Disease: Occlusal disease, or issues with the way your teeth fit together, can lead to headaches and jaw problems if left untreated—making early detection key for prevention.
• Narrow Oral Fissure - Short Stature - Cone - Shaped Epiphyses: Narrow oral fissures, short stature, and cone-shaped epiphyses can be early signs of a genetic condition that may affect overall health, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups for early intervention and management.
• Anodontia: Missing teeth, a condition called anodontia, can affect your ability to chew, speak, and even your overall self-esteem; early identification and treatment options ensure you maintain your oral health and prevent further problems.
• Hutchinson Incisors: Regular prenatal care and early intervention can prevent congenital syphilis, a cause of Hutchinson incisors, safeguarding a child's future oral health and development.
• Pericoronitis: Pericoronitis, an infection around partially erupted teeth, highlights the importance of proactive oral care, as early treatment can prevent pain, swelling, and long-term health issues.
• Jaw Bone Tissue Deterioration: Early intervention is key to managing jawbone deterioration; addressing gum disease and other oral health issues promptly can help preserve your jawbone's integrity.
• Ectodermal Dysplasia With Natal Teeth, Turnpenny Type: Because ectodermal dysplasia with natal teeth, Turnpenny type, can affect the number, shape, and structure of teeth, ongoing preventative care helps manage potential infections and bite problems.

• Porcelain Fixed Bridges: To maintain a healthy mouth and prevent bite issues, a porcelain fixed bridge can replace missing teeth, restoring your chewing ability and preventing adjacent teeth from drifting.
• Endodontic Retreatment: Endodontic retreatment is a procedure to revisit and repair a previously treated root canal, ensuring your tooth remains healthy and preventing future infections.

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

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

At Dr. Ashley DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This crucial preventative care helps remove tartar buildup, detects cavities early, and screens 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 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 profoundly connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene through preventive dental care is crucial for protecting your entire body's 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.

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.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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