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

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

At Dr. Cynthia DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our team to remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, detect 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 a professional cleaning can remove. This crucial step prevents 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?

Oral health is profoundly connected to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining good overall body health.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Cynthia 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.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the 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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

While Dr. Cynthia DMD is a dentist, not a sleep specialist, she can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. For these patients, she can create a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night to keep the airway open, providing a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing tooth roots, or tiny cracks in the teeth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Cynthia DMD is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, an oral cancer screening is a routine and important part of every dental check-up at Dr. Cynthia DMD's office. We will visually inspect your lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities, as early detection is key to successful treatment.
