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

• Oral Infection: Catching an oral infection early through routine dental visits can help prevent serious complications like tooth loss or spread of infection to other parts of the body.
• Gingival Fibromatosis: Gingival fibromatosis is a rare condition causing unusually firm and overgrown gums, which, if left unmanaged, can lead to difficulties with chewing, cleaning your teeth, and potentially gum disease.
• Hypodontia: Hypodontia, or missing teeth, can be detected early with regular dental checkups, preventing complications like misaligned bites and jaw problems later in life.
• Tooth Demineralization: Protecting your teeth from cavities begins with recognizing tooth demineralization—a weakening of tooth enamel—which early detection through dental checkups and good oral care can help address before it progresses to decay.
• Tooth Avulsion: Preventing tooth avulsion starts with protecting your teeth from injury through activities like wearing mouthguards during sports; early intervention is key to successful reimplantation.
• Oral Thrush (Candidiasis): Proper care, including regular dental checkups, helps prevent oral thrush and its associated health problems.
• Dens in Dente and Palatal Invaginations: Managing dens in dente and palatal invaginations involves diligent oral hygiene and regular dental visits to minimize the risk of severe dental problems later on.

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

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

Dr. Jonathan DDS recommends seeing a dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This crucial preventive care removes tartar buildup that brushing can't, identifies cavities early, and screens 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 has links to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intricately 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 is crucial for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

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

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

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using extremely low levels of radiation. They allow Dr. Jonathan DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible, enabling early intervention and better oral health.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition affecting the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Jonathan DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.

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 not a painful procedure, but a way to preserve your smile.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, an oral cancer screening is a routine and important part of every dental check-up at Dr. Jonathan DDS. We will visually inspect your lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
