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

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

At Dr. Marioli DMD, we recommend seeing your dentist and hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This schedule 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 is linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

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

Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?

Modern digital dental X-rays use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Marioli to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention.

What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?

Gingivitis is an early, reversible stage of gum disease characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more serious stage where the bone supporting the teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

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

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 surrounding teeth.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, oral cancer screenings are a routine and important part of every check-up. Dr. Marioli DMD will visually inspect your lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities; early detection is key to successful treatment.
