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

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

We recommend visiting Dr. Michelle DDS and our dental hygienists every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This helps prevent tartar buildup, catches cavities early, and screens for gum disease and oral cancer.

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 is 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 (periodontitis) is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal body health.

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 (molars). They are a powerful preventive tool, primarily for children and teenagers, that seals out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

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 a tooth extraction.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Michelle DDS can assess your oral health, recommend the best whitening method for you, and provide professional-grade treatments that are safer and more effective than over-the-counter products.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Michelle DDS can help with mild to moderate sleep apnea. For some patients, a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night can effectively keep the airway open, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP. We can discuss if this treatment option is right for you during your consultation.

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. Michelle DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible without them, enabling early intervention.
