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

• Canker Sore: While most canker sores heal on their own, paying attention to their frequency and severity helps identify potential nutritional deficiencies or stress factors impacting your oral health.
• Malignant Tumor of Gum: Addressing any gum irritation or sores promptly and reporting them to your dentist can help prevent them from developing into cancerous tumors.
• Cleidocranial Dysostosis: Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare genetic condition affecting bone and tooth development, making regular dental checkups crucial for early detection and management of potential oral health issues.
• Bleeding Gums: Preventing gum disease starts with noticing bleeding gums; addressing this issue early can help maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.
• Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder: TMJ disorder, affecting your jaw joint, can cause pain and limit function, but early detection and management through lifestyle changes and professional guidance can prevent long-term complications.
• Tooth Discoloration (Resistant to Whitening): While some discoloration is cosmetic, resistant staining could signal a need for dental intervention to preserve your teeth and prevent more serious concerns.
• Gingival Fibromatosis - Growth Hormone Deficiency: Regular dental checkups are vital for identifying gingival fibromatosis, a gum overgrowth sometimes associated with growth hormone deficiency, early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing potential long-term oral health problems.

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

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

Dr. Isis DMD recommends visiting for checkups and cleanings every six months. This helps 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, more importantly, gum disease, which has been linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is intricately 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, including regular check-ups and cleanings, is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall 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 causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can result from worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the teeth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Isis DMD is needed to determine the cause and recommend effective treatments, like desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

While Dr. Isis DMD is a dentist, not a sleep specialist, she can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. She can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open during sleep, offering a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Isis DMD 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.
