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

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

Dr. Marco DMD recommends visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our dental team to remove tartar buildup, detect small cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer. Regular visits are a crucial step in maintaining a healthy smile.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with excellent home care, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, importantly, gum disease, which can be linked to other health problems.

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, therefore, is an essential part of maintaining optimal body health.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Marco 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.

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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Marco DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night can effectively keep the airway open, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

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