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

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

For most people, a check-up and cleaning every six months is recommended. This helps prevent tartar buildup, which brushing alone can't remove, and allows for early detection of cavities and gum disease, as well as oral cancer screenings.

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 intricately 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, including regular checkups and cleanings, is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall body health.

What is TMJ disorder?

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 can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from 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 the lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities, as early detection is key to successful treatment.

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a procedure to save a tooth badly infected or damaged by removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. It's a way to relieve pain, not cause it, and prevent the need for a tooth extraction. Dr. Mohammed DMD is here to help you keep your smile healthy.

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.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Mohammed DMD is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.
