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

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

At Dr. Hamed DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This allows our dental hygienists to remove tartar buildup that brushing 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 meticulous brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This process is crucial for preventing cavities and, more importantly, gum disease, which can be linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is intrinsically linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is therefore essential for maintaining optimal body health.

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Hamed DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A custom-fitted oral appliance, worn at night, can keep the airway open, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients. We will work with you to determine if this is the right option for you.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing tooth roots, or tiny cracks in the teeth. Dr. Hamed DMD can properly diagnose the cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

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

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.
