• Lip Cancer: Early detection of lip cancer through self-exams and professional dental checkups allows for less invasive treatment and better long-term prognosis.
• Dens in Dente and Palatal Invaginations: Dens in dente and palatal invaginations are tooth structure variations that can increase your risk of cavities and infections if not regularly monitored by your dentist.

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

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

Dr. Kinga DDS recommends seeing a dentist and hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This is crucial for removing tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, identifying cavities in their early stages, and screening 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, importantly, gum disease, which has links to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been linked to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

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.

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. Kinga DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible to the naked eye, enabling early intervention and better treatment outcomes.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Kinga DDS can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We offer a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night to keep the airway open, providing a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Kinga DDS can assess your oral health to determine if 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.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (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. Kinga DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.
