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

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

Dr. Juan DDS recommends seeing a dentist and hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This helps 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 hardens into tartar, which only a professional cleaning can remove. This crucial step prevents cavities and, significantly, gum disease, a condition linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is deeply connected to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is therefore an essential part of maintaining good overall body health.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Juan DDS 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.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

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

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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