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

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

At Dr. Beatriz DMD, we recommend seeing a dentist and hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This crucial preventive 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 excellent brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar (calculus), which 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, or periodontitis, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral and systemic health.

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a treatment to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. This procedure relieves pain and prevents the need for tooth extraction.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Beatriz DMD can help with snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. For some patients, a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night can effectively keep the airway open, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP. We can discuss if this option is right for you.

Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?

Modern digital dental X-rays use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Beatriz to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible, enabling early intervention.

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.
