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

• Fused Mandibular Incisors: Fused mandibular incisors, where two lower front teeth are joined, can sometimes impact proper cleaning and increase the risk of cavities and gum disease if not carefully monitored.
• Canker Sore: Though often benign, recurring or unusually severe canker sores warrant a dental checkup to rule out any underlying oral health problems and prevent complications.
• Teething: Proper hygiene during teething, including gentle gum massage and cleaning, helps maintain oral health and prevent future cavity development.
• Malignant Tumor of Gum: Maintaining good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, can reduce your risk of developing malignant tumors in your gums.
• Vincent's Disease: Vincent's disease, or acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG), is a severe gum infection that can be prevented with diligent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, allowing for early detection and treatment before it worsens.
• Unequal Jaw Growth: Preventing complications from uneven jaw growth starts with early identification; addressing this issue can help maintain a proper bite, reducing your risk of future dental problems.
• Clicking of Temporomandibular Joint: Catching clicking in your jaw joint early can help avoid severe TMJ problems; schedule an appointment with your dentist to assess and manage it.

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

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

At Dr. Kevin DDS, we recommend seeing a dentist and hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This helps prevent tartar buildup, which brushing can't remove, and allows us to catch cavities early. Regular visits also screen 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 intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining a healthy body.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

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

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 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. Kevin DDS is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

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 your teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.
