• Limited Gum Surgery: Limited gum surgery helps proactively address early gum disease, preventing more extensive procedures and protecting your overall oral health.
• Sulcular Debridement: As part of your preventive care, sulcular debridement thoroughly cleans the area where your gums meet your teeth, helping to maintain healthy gums and prevent infection.

• Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT): Take a proactive step towards better oral health with a cone beam CT scan – it's a specialized X-ray that helps your dentist find problems like impacted wisdom teeth, cysts, or tumors before they cause significant pain or complications.

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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Julian DDS and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This allows us to remove tartar buildup that 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 meticulous 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 been linked to other health problems, including 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, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings with Dr. Julian DDS, is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

What is TMJ disorder?

TMJ disorder affects the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Julian DDS can diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard, to prevent further damage from grinding.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Julian 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 for future care.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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. Julian DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better oral health.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can result from worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Julian DDS is needed to determine the cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.
