A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Milan DDS 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:

• Dentin Dysplasia, Coronal: Coronal dentin dysplasia is a rare condition affecting tooth development, and early detection through regular dental checkups can help manage potential complications and preserve your teeth's health.
• Mouth Lesions: Ignoring mouth lesions can lead to more severe issues, so routine dental visits are essential for early identification and appropriate management.
• Crooked Teeth: Crooked teeth can affect your bite and jaw alignment, increasing the risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, highlighting the importance of preventive orthodontic care.
• Cleidocranial Dysostosis: Because cleidocranial dysostosis can delay or prevent tooth eruption, proactive dental care helps ensure proper alignment and reduces the risk of future complications.
• Dens in Dente and Palatal Invaginations: These unusual tooth formations (dens in dente and palatal invaginations) can create hidden areas that trap bacteria, making preventative care like flossing crucial.
• Receded Lower Jaw: A receding lower jaw can be a sign of underlying gum disease or bone loss, highlighting the importance of regular dental check-ups for early intervention and management.
• Behçet's Disease: While Behçet's Disease itself isn't preventable, proactive dental care plays a key role in managing oral symptoms, preventing infections, and improving your overall quality of life.

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

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

At Dr. Milan DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our team to remove tartar buildup that daily 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 gum disease, which can be linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall body health.

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.

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

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using extremely low levels of radiation. They allow Dr. Milan DDS to see issues like cavities between teeth, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better oral health.

What are veneers and how are they different from crowns?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to enhance 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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Milan DDS can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep your airway open while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (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. Milan DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from teeth grinding.
