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

• Grinding of Teeth: Grinding your teeth, or bruxism, can wear down enamel, leading to cavities and sensitivity—catching it early with a dental check-up prevents major problems.
• Tooth Abrasion: Managing tooth abrasion effectively, often through lifestyle changes and professional dental care, helps maintain the health and longevity of your teeth, avoiding the need for more extensive dental work down the line.
• Tooth Loss: Preventing tooth loss starts with regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene to catch problems early and avoid major issues down the line.
• Toothache: Ignoring a toothache can lead to more serious problems like gum disease or the need for extensive dental work, emphasizing the value of prompt treatment.
• Pericoronitis: Pericoronitis, an infection around partially erupted teeth, highlights the importance of proactive oral care, as early treatment can prevent pain, swelling, and long-term health issues.
• Clefting - Ectropion - Conical Teeth: The presence of clefting, ectropion, and conical teeth can sometimes point to broader health concerns; therefore, regular check-ups are essential for early detection and management.
• Tooth Attrition: Tooth attrition, or the wearing away of tooth enamel, can be prevented with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, helping you maintain a healthy smile for life.

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

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

At Dr. Edwin DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This crucial preventative step allows our dental hygienists to remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, enabling us to catch 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 can be linked to other health problems, such as 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 serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is crucial for maintaining good oral health and, consequently, overall well-being.

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.

What is TMJ disorder?

TMJ disorder is a condition affecting the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Edwin DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard, to prevent damage from grinding.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Edwin 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.
