Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Preventive Dental care with Dr. Oliver DMD:
- How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning?
- At Dr. Oliver DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows us to remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, detect cavities early, and screen for gum disease and oral cancer.
- 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 can be linked to other health problems.
- How is oral health connected to my overall health?
- Oral health is intricately linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal 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 tooth extraction. It's not a painful procedure, but rather a way to preserve your natural tooth.
- What causes tooth sensitivity?
- Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the teeth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Oliver DMD is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.
- 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.
- When should my child first see a dentist?
- Dr. Oliver 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.
- 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. Oliver DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from teeth grinding.
