• Crooked Teeth: Malaligned teeth increase the risk of gum disease and jaw pain by making proper brushing and flossing difficult; early intervention with orthodontic treatment can prevent these complications.
• Hunter Glossitis: Managing Hunter glossitis effectively can help avoid complications like pain, difficulty eating, and potential infections, safeguarding your overall oral health.
• Swollen Gums: Noticeable gum swelling warrants a visit to your dentist; early intervention can often reverse the condition and maintain good oral health.
• Unequal Jaw Growth: Mismatched jaw growth may affect your bite and increase your risk of developing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for preventative care.
• Black Hairy Tongue: Early identification of black hairy tongue allows for prompt intervention, preventing potential issues associated with discoloration and bacterial overgrowth.
• Ameloblastoma: Ameloblastoma is a rare, slow-growing tumor of the jaw that, if detected early through regular dental checkups, can be treated effectively to prevent more extensive surgery or complications.
• Carcinoma Tongue: Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits can help identify potential signs of tongue cancer early, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing its progression.

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

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

At Dr. Naderge DMD, we recommend seeing your dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This helps remove tartar buildup that 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 home care, 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 profoundly connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is an essential part of maintaining your body's overall 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. Naderge can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.

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.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, an oral cancer screening is a routine and important part of every dental check-up. Dr. Naderge 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 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. Dr. Naderge DMD is committed to providing comfortable and effective root canal therapy.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Naderge DMD 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.
