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

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

Dr. Sharon DDS recommends visiting the dentist and hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This crucial preventive care removes tartar buildup that brushing can't, helps catch cavities early, and screens 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 (calculus) that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, more importantly, gum disease, which is linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall body health.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Sharon 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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Sharon DDS can help with snoring and sleep apnea. For 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. This is a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can arise from various factors, including worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth structure. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Sharon DDS is essential to pinpoint the cause and recommend appropriate treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

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

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using extremely low levels of radiation. They allow Dr. Sharon DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better oral health.
