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

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 helps remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, catch 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 professional cleanings can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, significantly, gum disease, which has been linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Dr. Sangchan DDS's practice emphasizes the critical oral-systemic link. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is linked to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining overall body health.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Sangchan 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.

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 surrounding 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. Sangchan DDS is needed to determine the specific cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Sangchan DDS 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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Sangchan DDS can help with mild to moderate sleep apnea. For some patients, we create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open during sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP. This is a valuable option for eligible patients.
