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

• Mouth Cancer: Mouth cancer, if caught early, is often treatable, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and improved outcomes.
• Dental Crowding: Preventing future dental problems starts with early detection of crowded teeth; orthodontic intervention can help avoid more complex and costly procedures later.
• Dentin Dysplasia, Radicular: Since radicular dentin dysplasia weakens teeth, proactive dental care such as regular cleanings and fluoride treatments helps protect teeth and prevent further damage.
• Tooth Abnormalities as Seen in Diabetes: Managing diabetes effectively is crucial for preventing oral health problems like tooth abnormalities, which can be detected early through regular dental checkups.
• Cosmetic Peridontal Problems: Cosmetic periodontal concerns, if left unaddressed, can increase your risk for developing gum disease and other oral health problems.
• Crossbite: Managing a crossbite helps prevent uneven wear and tear on your teeth, improving chewing function and reducing the risk of more serious dental problems later.
• Ectodermal Dysplasia: Managing the oral health issues associated with ectodermal dysplasia, such as missing teeth and abnormal enamel, can prevent more serious problems like infections or impacted teeth.

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

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

At Dr. Mohammed DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This helps remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing can't, allowing us to catch cavities early and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, importantly, gum disease, which has been 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, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining not only a healthy mouth but also a healthy body.

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

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?

Gingivitis is an early, reversible stage of gum disease. It's characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If gingivitis isn't treated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more serious stage where the bone supporting your teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

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 are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. 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.
