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

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

At Dr. Jana DMD, we recommend seeing your dentist and hygienist every six months for checkups and cleanings. This is a crucial preventive step to remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, catch cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with diligent 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 can be linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

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

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 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.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Jana DMD can assess your oral health to determine if you're a good candidate for professional whitening treatments, like custom trays or in-office procedures, which offer better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Jana DMD can help with snoring and some cases of sleep apnea. For some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, she can create a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night to keep the airway open. This is a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.
