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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Jason DDS and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This allows us to remove tartar buildup that daily brushing can't, detect 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 is 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 (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Jason DDS to see issues like cavities between teeth, bone loss, and impacted teeth, enabling early intervention.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Jason DDS can assess your oral health to ensure you are a good candidate and offer professional-grade treatments, like custom trays or in-office procedures, that provide better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

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, sealing out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can arise from various factors, including worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth structure. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Jason DDS is necessary to determine the specific cause and recommend the most effective treatment, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Jason DDS can help with snoring and some cases of sleep apnea. For eligible patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, we can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep, providing a comfortable alternative to CPAP.
