• Tooth Discoloration (Resistant to Whitening): Addressing resistant tooth discoloration proactively can help maintain your smile's aesthetic appeal and avoid more extensive, costly treatments later.
• Excessive Tooth Wear: Managing factors contributing to tooth wear, such as bruxism or acidic diets, is essential for preventing irreversible damage and maintaining a healthy, comfortable smile.

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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Jaime DMD and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This schedule 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 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 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, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is therefore essential for maintaining good overall body health.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

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

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a procedure to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. This treatment relieves pain and prevents the need for tooth extraction. Dr. Jaime DMD is skilled at performing root canals comfortably and effectively.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Jaime 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.

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?

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