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

• Gummy Smile (Oversized Gingiva): A gummy smile, where too much gum tissue is visible when you smile, might seem cosmetic, but early evaluation can prevent potential gum issues down the line.
• Dental Spacing: Proper dental spacing prevents food particles from getting trapped, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Treacher Collins Syndrome: Early identification of oral health problems in individuals with Treacher Collins Syndrome is vital for preventing infections, promoting healthy teeth, and improving overall quality of life.
• Toothache: Toothaches often signal underlying dental problems; addressing them early helps prevent complications and preserves your oral health, impacting overall well-being.
• Dentinogenesis Imperfecta, Shield's Type I: Preventative dentistry plays a vital role in mitigating the effects of Shield's Type I Dentinogenesis Imperfecta by enabling early intervention and customized care to preserve tooth structure and function.
• Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: While usually painless, oral hairy leukoplakia, a white patch on the tongue often associated with a compromised immune system, highlights the importance of preventive care and regular dental checkups for early detection and improved health outcomes.
• Bad Taste in Mouth: Experiencing a bad taste? Addressing this early can prevent more extensive dental problems and protect your overall health, since oral health impacts your whole body.

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

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

At Dr. Azadeh DDS, we recommend seeing a dentist and dental hygienist every six months for checkups and cleanings. 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 meticulous brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only professional cleanings 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 deeply connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is crucial for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Azadeh DDS can assess your oral health to ensure you're a good candidate and offer professional-grade treatments, like custom trays or in-office procedures, for better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Azadeh DDS recommends a child's first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. This early visit is crucial for ensuring proper tooth development and establishing a positive dental home for future care.

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 the teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Azadeh 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 alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.
