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

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

Dr. Lauryn DMD recommends visiting the dentist 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 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 been linked to other health problems such as heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is profoundly connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is linked to an increased risk of serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the modern gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are titanium posts that act like artificial tooth roots, which are then topped with a natural-looking crown. This helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of adjacent teeth.

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. Lauryn to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better treatment outcomes.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Lauryn DMD 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.

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. Lauryn DMD is needed to determine the exact cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

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. Lauryn DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard, to prevent damage from grinding.
