• 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.

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

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

At Dr. Vladyslava DDS, we recommend seeing your dentist and hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This schedule is crucial for removing tartar buildup that daily brushing can't, catching cavities early, and screening 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 crucial for preventing cavities and gum disease, a significant factor in overall health, including heart health.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is therefore an essential part of maintaining good health throughout your body.

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.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Vladyslava DDS can help manage snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. For some patients, a custom-fitted oral appliance worn at night can effectively keep the airway open, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP. We will discuss your specific needs during your consultation.

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 or decay.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Vladyslava DDS can assess your oral health to determine if you are a good candidate for professional whitening treatments, like custom trays or in-office procedures, which provide better and safer results than over-the-counter products.

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. Vladyslava DDS can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments, such as a custom nightguard to prevent damage from teeth grinding.
