• Compulsive Cheek Biting: Compulsive cheek biting can damage your gums and teeth, leading to cavities and infections, so it's important to identify and manage this habit to maintain optimal oral health.
• Congenital Nasal Deformity: Congenital nasal deformities, present from birth, can sometimes affect facial development, potentially influencing jaw alignment and requiring early monitoring to prevent future dental complications.
• Dentin Dysplasia, Radicular: Regular visits to your dentist are crucial for individuals with a family history of radicular dentin dysplasia, as early detection allows for preventative measures and slows disease progression.

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

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

At Dr. John DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our dental hygienists to 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 can harden into tartar (calculus), which only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, significantly, 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 directly connected 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 is essential for maintaining optimal body health.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. John 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.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. John 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 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.

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. It's a common and effective way to preserve your smile.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. John DMD can help with snoring or sleep apnea. For some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, we can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep. This is a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.
