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

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

At Dr. Tamer DDS, we recommend seeing a dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This is crucial for removing tartar buildup that brushing can't, detecting cavities early, and identifying potential gum disease or 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 gum disease, which is linked to other health problems.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intricately 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 is essential for maintaining optimal body health.

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

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 the need for tooth extraction. It's not a painful procedure, but rather a way to preserve your smile.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Tamer DDS can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We offer custom-fitted oral appliances to keep the airway open during sleep, providing a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition affecting the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Tamer DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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