• Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess indicates a serious infection needing immediate dental attention; proactive preventive dental care minimizes the risk of reaching this stage.

• Dentin Dysplasia, Coronal: Coronal dentin dysplasia is a rare condition affecting tooth development, and early detection through regular dental checkups can help manage potential complications and preserve your teeth's health.

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

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

At Dr. Charles DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up 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 diligent brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This crucial step prevents 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?

Your oral health is intrinsically linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is connected to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, therefore, is an essential component of maintaining optimal body health.

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, which are then topped with a natural-looking crown. This method helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of surrounding teeth.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Charles DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We offer a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night to keep the airway open, providing a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

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

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

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

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