• Oral Submucous Fibrosis: Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic condition that can lead to serious mouth problems, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups for early detection and prevention.
• Gum Disease: Protecting your gums from disease involves practicing good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings to reduce your risk of gum problems.
• Swollen Gums: Swollen gums can be a sign of gum disease, and early detection through regular dental checkups is key to preventing more serious problems.
• Pericoronitis: Pericoronitis is an infection of the gum tissue around a partially erupted tooth, often a wisdom tooth, and early detection through regular dental checkups can prevent serious complications like abscesses.
• Incisors Fused: Fused incisors, where two or more front teeth are joined, can sometimes affect proper chewing and cleaning, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease if not carefully monitored and professionally managed.
• Tongue-Tie: Recognizing and managing tongue-tie in children can safeguard their future oral health by enabling effective cleaning and healthy jaw development, thus lowering the risks of various oral diseases.
• Tooth Avulsion: Taking proactive steps like wearing protective gear during high-risk activities significantly reduces the likelihood of a tooth being knocked out, preserving your smile and oral health.

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

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

At Dr. Sandrine DMD, we recommend seeing a dentist and dental hygienist every six months. This schedule 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 has been linked to other health problems like 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 (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal body health.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Sandrine DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. She can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

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.

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 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. Sandrine DMD is needed to determine the exact cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Sandrine 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.
