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

How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning?
Dr. Stuart DDS recommends visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. 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 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 can be linked to other health problems like heart disease.
How is oral health connected to my overall health?
Oral health is deeply connected to overall health, as chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is therefore essential for maintaining optimal body health.
What is TMJ disorder?
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition affecting the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Stuart DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard, to prevent damage from teeth grinding.
Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?
Yes, modern digital dental X-rays use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Stuart DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and preventing larger problems.
How can I whiten my teeth safely?
The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Stuart DDS can assess your oral health to ensure you're 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 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.
What is a root canal and why is it needed?
A root canal is a procedure to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. This treatment relieves pain and prevents tooth extraction. It's a common and effective way to protect your smile.
