By working together, you and Dr. Lisandra DMD can create a clear, actionable plan to address your unique risk factors and health goals.

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

• Oral Infection: An oral infection, like a cavity or gum disease, can be prevented with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, avoiding costly and uncomfortable treatments later.
• Occlusal Disease: Occlusal disease refers to problems with how your teeth come together, and catching it early can prevent more serious issues like jaw pain or tooth damage.
• Crooked Teeth: Malaligned teeth increase the risk of gum disease and jaw pain by making proper brushing and flossing difficult; early intervention with orthodontic treatment can prevent these complications.
• Cleft Lip and Palate: Regular checkups and early identification of cleft lip and palate are crucial for timely treatment, preventing issues like ear infections and developmental delays.
• Gingival Fibromatosis: While rare, gingival fibromatosis necessitates consistent professional dental care to prevent secondary complications such as gum disease or difficulty with daily oral hygiene.
• Tooth Damage: Managing existing tooth damage, such as chips or fractures, minimizes the risk of infection, pain, and more extensive damage requiring extensive restorative work.
• Oral Lichenoid Lesions: Oral lichenoid lesions are harmless-appearing mouth sores that, if left unchecked, can sometimes develop into more serious issues, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and prevention.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans are developed based on individual patient evaluations.

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

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

At Dr. Lisandra DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This helps prevent tartar buildup, 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 gum disease, which is linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

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

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They are a powerful preventive tool, primarily for children and teenagers, that seals out food and plaque, preventing cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

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 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.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Lisandra 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.
