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

• Excessive Tooth Wear: Protecting your teeth from excessive wear prevents future dental problems like sensitivity, fractures, and even tooth loss, making regular dental visits crucial for long-term oral health.
• Cleft Lip: While not directly preventable, early detection of cleft lip allows for prompt surgical correction, reducing the risk of feeding difficulties and speech impediments.
• Cleidocranial Dysostosis: Early diagnosis of cleidocranial dysostosis allows for timely interventions, such as orthodontic treatment, to improve dental function and prevent long-term complications.
• Protruding Front Teeth: Preventing complications from protruding front teeth, like abnormal wear and tear or gum recession, is best achieved through proactive dental care.
• Facial Ectodermal Dysplasia: Because facial ectodermal dysplasia can cause missing or abnormally shaped teeth, proactive dental care, including regular checkups and potential interventions, is vital to minimize long-term oral health problems.
• Bad Taste in Mouth: Persistent bad taste might indicate gum disease or infection, highlighting the importance of proactive dental care to avoid more serious complications.
• Ankylosis: Early detection of ankylosis, a condition where a tooth fuses to the jawbone, is crucial for preventing misalignment, tooth loss, and other oral health issues.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

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

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

At Dr. Vincent DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our team to remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, identify 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 hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. This is essential for preventing cavities and, crucially, gum disease, which has links 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 is essential for maintaining optimal body health.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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 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. Dr. Vincent DMD is dedicated to providing pain-free root canal therapy.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Vincent DMD can help with some cases of snoring or 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 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. Vincent DMD can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.
