• Dental Trauma: Early detection of dental trauma, even minor injuries, is crucial to prevent infections, nerve damage, and long-term complications.
• Cosmetic Peridontal Problems: Preventing further gum recession and bone loss, often associated with cosmetic periodontal issues, is key to maintaining long-term oral health.

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

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

At Dr. Erin DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows us to 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 meticulous brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, importantly, gum disease, which is linked to other health problems.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Dr. Erin DDS's practice emphasizes the important oral-systemic link. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is an essential part of maintaining overall body health.

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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Erin DDS 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 and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

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 helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of adjacent teeth.

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. Erin DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better oral health.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Erin DDS is needed to determine the exact cause and recommend the most effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.
