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

• Misshapen Teeth: Regular dental checkups help identify misshapen teeth, allowing for timely orthodontic intervention, preventing more severe issues and improving long-term oral health.
• 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.
• Malocclusion (Bad Bite): A bad bite, or malocclusion, can increase your risk of gum disease and tooth decay if left unaddressed, highlighting the importance of early detection and orthodontic intervention.
• Gingival Fibromatosis - Unusual Facies - Cafe-Au-Lait Pigmentation - Congenital Skin Telangiectases: Regular dental checkups are crucial for early detection of gingival fibromatosis, helping manage this condition and its potential effects on oral health and overall well-being.
• Underbite: Preventing future dental problems starts with addressing an underbite early; misalignment can lead to jaw pain, teeth wear, and difficulty chewing, impacting your overall well-being.
• Oral Pharyngeal Disorders: Many oral pharyngeal disorders are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices and proactive dental care, minimizing the need for extensive treatments later on.
• Tartar Buildup: Preventing tartar buildup helps maintain healthy gums and prevents cavities by stopping the progression of plaque, which hardens into tartar.

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

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

At Dr. Giselle DMD, we recommend seeing a dentist and dental hygienist every six months for check-ups and cleanings. This is a critical preventive step 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 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, or periodontitis, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for 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 helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of surrounding teeth.

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?

Temporomandibular Joint (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. Giselle DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

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

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 your teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.
