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

• Tooth Attrition: Attrition, the gradual wearing down of teeth, can be significantly reduced by adopting preventive habits and seeking professional dental advice, ensuring a long-term, healthy smile.
• Behçet's Disease: Early detection of oral manifestations of Behçet's Disease through regular dental checkups allows for timely intervention and reduces the risk of severe complications.
• Dental Tissue Neoplasm: Dental tissue neoplasms, or tumors in the mouth, can be prevented by regular dental checkups allowing for early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of serious complications.

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

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

Dr. Monica DDS recommends seeing your dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This schedule is crucial for removing tartar buildup, which brushing can't, finding cavities early, and detecting gum disease or oral cancer in their earliest stages.

Why are routine dental cleanings so important for prevention?

Even with meticulous 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 can be 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) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining good overall body health.

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 tooth extraction.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Monica DDS can assess your oral health to ensure you're a good candidate and offer professional-grade treatments, like custom trays or in-office procedures, for better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

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. They are a powerful preventive tool, primarily for children and teenagers, that seal out food and plaque, preventing cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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. Monica DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and preventing more serious problems.
