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

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

For most people, a checkup and cleaning every six months is recommended. This allows our dental hygienists to remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, enabling us to catch 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, importantly, gum disease, which can be linked to other health problems such as heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is intricately linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Ryan DMD is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They are a powerful preventive tool, primarily for children and teenagers, sealing out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Ryan DMD can help with snoring and sleep apnea. For some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, we can create a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night to keep the airway open. This is a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

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 adjacent teeth.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (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. Ryan DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.
