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

• Oral Thrush (Candidiasis): Oral thrush can be a sign of a weakened immune system; proactive health management helps avoid this infection.
• Fused Mandibular Incisors: Because fused mandibular incisors can make cleaning more challenging, proactive dental care can prevent the buildup of plaque and the development of cavities or gum disease.
• Tooth Loss: Tooth loss can be a sign of underlying gum disease or decay, so proactive dental care is crucial for prevention.
• Dentofacial Anomalies: Early detection of dentofacial anomalies is crucial to prevent future dental problems and ensure a healthy, comfortable bite.
• Receded Upper Jaw: Receding gums in your upper jaw can expose the roots of your teeth, increasing your risk of cavities and gum disease, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and prevention.
• Papilloma: Although most oral papillomas are benign, proactive management through regular dental visits aids in early detection and helps minimize the risk of complications or progression.
• Supernumary Teeth: Supernumerary teeth, or extra teeth, can sometimes crowd existing teeth, increasing your risk of cavities and gum disease if not detected and addressed early.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

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

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

At Dr. Diana DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our team to remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, detect cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and 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 (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 essential for maintaining a healthy body.

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

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using extremely low levels of radiation. They allow Dr. Diana DDS to see issues like cavities and bone loss that aren't visible, enabling early intervention and better treatment outcomes.

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.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Diana DDS can assess your oral health to ensure you are 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.

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 TMJ disorder?

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. Diana DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.
