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

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

At Dr. Mamta DMD, we recommend seeing your dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This crucial preventive care helps remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, allows for early detection of cavities and gum disease, and screens for 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?

Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is therefore an essential part of maintaining optimal body 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.

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. Mamta DMD is needed to determine the cause and recommend effective treatments, like desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Mamta can help with snoring and some cases of sleep apnea. For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, she can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep your airway open while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP.

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a procedure to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. This treatment relieves pain and prevents the need for tooth extraction.

What is TMJ disorder?

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. Mamta DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.
