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

• Supernumary Teeth: Supernumerary teeth, or extra teeth, can sometimes crowd existing teeth, increasing your risk of cavities and gum disease if not detected and addressed early.
• Gingivitis: Managing gingivitis effectively, through professional cleaning and at-home care, reduces your risk of developing more severe gum disease.
• Oral Lichenoid Lesions: Preventing complications from oral lichenoid lesions starts with understanding they are chronic mouth sores requiring monitoring; regular dental visits ensure early identification and management of any potential problems.
• Jaw Misalignment Leading to TMJ: Jaw misalignment is a potential risk factor for TMJ; routine dental checkups help dentists identify this early and recommend appropriate management strategies like bite guards or orthodontic treatment.
• Dens in Dente and Palatal Invaginations: Early detection of dens in dente and palatal invaginations, through routine dental checkups, helps prevent potential complications like tooth decay and infections.
• Tooth Decay: Preventing tooth decay is crucial for maintaining a healthy smile and overall well-being, as untreated decay can lead to infections and other health problems.
• Gingival Fibrosis: Gingival fibrosis, characterized by hardened gums, emphasizes the need for proactive gum disease management through professional cleanings and good oral hygiene practices to maintain healthy gums.

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

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

At Dr. Sebastian DDS, we recommend seeing your dentist and hygienist every six months for checkups and cleanings. This helps prevent tartar buildup, 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 can harden into tartar (calculus), which only a professional cleaning can remove. This process is crucial for preventing cavities and, more importantly, gum disease, which has been linked to other health problems, such as heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is directly linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or 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 systemic health.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Sebastian 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, for better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a treatment to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. This procedure relieves pain and prevents tooth extraction.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Sebastian DDS 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 to keep the airway open while you sleep. This is a comfortable and effective 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 sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They're a powerful preventive tool, especially for children and teens, that help seal out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.
