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

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

Dr. Jose DDS recommends visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows us to remove tartar buildup, detect cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer. Regular visits are a critical preventive step in maintaining a healthy smile.

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 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 intricately linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, like regular checkups and cleanings with Dr. Jose DDS, is essential for maintaining optimal body health.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the teeth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Jose DDS is needed to determine the exact 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 use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Jose DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better treatment outcomes.

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 are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. They are a powerful preventive tool, especially for children and teenagers, that seal out food and plaque to help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

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. Jose DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.
