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

• Occlusal Disease: Occlusal disease, or issues with the way your teeth fit together, can lead to headaches and jaw problems if left untreated—making early detection key for prevention.
• Edentulism: Managing gum disease and cavities effectively is key to preventing edentulism. Early intervention through professional dental care and at-home prevention practices helps maintain your natural teeth.
• Oral Thrush (Candidiasis): Maintaining good oral hygiene significantly reduces your risk of developing oral thrush, a common yet preventable infection.
• Chronic Periodontitis: Managing chronic periodontitis effectively involves consistent oral hygiene, regular professional cleanings, and prompt treatment of gum infections; this prevents further damage and helps maintain your oral health.
• Cracked Tooth: A cracked tooth, even a small one, can lead to serious problems if left untreated, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and prevention.
• Fibromatosis Gingival-Hypertrichosis: Fibromatosis gingival-hypertrichosis is a rare condition causing excessive gum tissue growth and excessive hair growth, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and management of unusual oral changes.
• Anodontia: Preventing complications associated with anodontia, the absence of teeth, starts with early detection. Addressing missing teeth helps maintain proper jaw alignment, prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, and supports a healthy bite.

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

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

For most people, regular checkups and cleanings every six months are recommended. This helps prevent tartar buildup that brushing alone can't remove, 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, more importantly, gum disease, which has been linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intricately 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 causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing tooth roots, or tiny cracks in the teeth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Irina DMD is needed to determine the cause and recommend effective treatments, like 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 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.

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. Irina DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from teeth grinding.

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.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Irina DMD can assess your oral health to ensure you're 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.
