A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Wissam DDS 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:

• Anodontia: Missing teeth, a condition called anodontia, can affect your ability to chew, speak, and even your overall self-esteem; early identification and treatment options ensure you maintain your oral health and prevent further problems.
• Dental Injury: Protecting your teeth from injury is a vital aspect of preventive dentistry, reducing the risk of painful procedures, costly treatments, and long-term oral health problems.
• Van der Woude Syndrome: Because Van der Woude syndrome can affect the structure of your mouth, regular dental visits are critical for preventing infection, improving function, and ensuring healthy teeth and gums.
• Clicking of Temporomandibular Joint: Catching clicking in your jaw joint early can help avoid severe TMJ problems; schedule an appointment with your dentist to assess and manage it.
• Mouth Lesions: Early detection and treatment of mouth lesions significantly reduces your risk of developing more serious oral conditions, highlighting the value of preventive dental care.
• Cavity: Addressing cavities promptly prevents infections, toothaches, and the potential need for extensive and costly dental procedures.
• Gummy Smile (Oversized Gingiva): A gummy smile, where too much gum tissue is visible when you smile, might seem cosmetic, but early evaluation can prevent potential gum issues down the line.

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

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

At Dr. Wissam DDS, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our dental hygienists to remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, and helps catch cavities early. Regular visits also 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, importantly, gum disease, which is linked to other health problems.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall health. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) is strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings, is essential for maintaining optimal oral health and overall well-being.

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 the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?

Gingivitis is an early, reversible stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious stage where the bone supporting your teeth is damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss.

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.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can arise from various factors, including worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth structure. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Wissam DDS is necessary to determine the specific cause and recommend the most effective treatment, which may include desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.
