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

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

At Dr. Navid DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our dental hygienists to remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, helping prevent cavities and gum disease. Regular check-ups also screen for early signs of oral cancer.

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 has been linked to other health problems such as heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is closely linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, has been associated with 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.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, oral cancer screenings are a routine and important part of every dental check-up at Dr. Navid DMD. We will visually inspect your lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities. Early detection is key to successful treatment.

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

What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?

Gingivitis is an early, reversible gum disease characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious stage where the bone supporting your teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Navid recommends a child's first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. This early visit is crucial for ensuring proper tooth development and establishing a positive dental home for future care.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

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