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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Sheena DMD and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This 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 home care, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is crucial for preventing cavities and, 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, or periodontitis, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining excellent overall body health.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, an oral cancer screening is a routine and important part of every dental check-up. Dr. Sheena will visually inspect the lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities; early detection is key to successful treatment.

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a treatment to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. We remove the inflamed pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it. This procedure relieves pain, not causes it, and prevents the need for tooth extraction.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Sheena DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A custom-fitted oral appliance, worn at night, can help keep the airway open, offering a comfortable 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 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 are a powerful preventive tool, primarily for children and teenagers, that seal out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.
