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

• Bleeding Gums: Bleeding gums, even a little, can be an early warning sign of gum disease, so it's crucial to address it promptly to prevent more serious problems.
• Hypodontia: Managing hypodontia through early intervention, such as dental implants or braces, helps maintain proper jaw alignment and reduces the risk of gum disease and other oral health issues.
• Ankylosis of Tooth: Protecting your overall oral health involves understanding and managing conditions like ankylosis, a fusion of the tooth root to the jawbone. Early detection through preventive dental care is key to avoid future complications.
• Salivary Gland Cyst: Managing a salivary gland cyst effectively, often through simple procedures, prevents potential infections or further growth that may affect your oral health.
• Gum Disease: Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a preventable infection that damages the gums and bone supporting your teeth, and early detection through regular checkups is key to preventing serious complications.
• Gummy Smile (Oversized Gingiva): While a gummy smile is often considered a cosmetic issue, regular dental checkups can help identify and address any related gum health problems early on.
• Jaw Irregularities: Jaw misalignment can impact your overall oral health and even contribute to headaches or facial pain; early intervention through orthodontic treatment can prevent long-term complications.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans are developed based on individual patient evaluations.

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

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

Dr. Rosanna DDS recommends 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 meticulous brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This process is crucial for preventing cavities and, importantly, gum disease, which has been linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is intrinsically 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. Regular preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Rosanna DDS 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.

Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Rosanna DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible, enabling early intervention and better oral 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. Rosanna DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.

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 seals out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.
