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

• Tooth Discoloration (Resistant to Whitening): Persistent tooth discoloration that doesn't respond to whitening treatments might indicate an underlying issue requiring professional dental attention to prevent further complications.
• Ectodermal Dysplasia: Because ectodermal dysplasia can cause missing or poorly formed teeth, proactive dental care, including preventive treatments, is vital to minimize the risk of further oral health problems.
• Receded Upper Jaw: Noticeable gum recession in your upper jaw may signify a need for improved oral hygiene practices and professional intervention to avoid potential complications and preserve your teeth's health and functionality.
• Oral Thrush (Candidiasis): Maintaining good oral hygiene significantly reduces your risk of developing oral thrush, a common yet preventable infection.
• Papilloma: To maintain optimal oral health and prevent potential issues, it's essential to have regular dental checkups that include screenings for oral papillomas, enabling early intervention and reducing the likelihood of complications.
• Jaw Tumor: A jaw tumor is an abnormal growth in the jaw bone that, if detected early, can be treated more effectively, preventing more extensive surgery or other complications.
• Gingival Fibromatosis - Facial Dysmorphism: Regular dental check-ups are vital for early detection of gingival fibromatosis, a condition marked by excessive gum growth and sometimes facial differences, enabling timely interventions that prevent further problems.

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

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

At Dr. Yanet DDS, we recommend seeing your dentist and dental hygienist 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 meticulous 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 has been linked to other health problems like heart disease.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is intrinsically linked 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 essential for maintaining good overall health.

Are dental X-rays safe, and why do I need them?

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using extremely low levels of radiation. They allow Dr. Yanet DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better preventative care.

How can I whiten my teeth safely?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is under professional supervision. Dr. Yanet 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 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 approach helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of surrounding teeth.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Yanet DDS is needed to determine the cause and recommend effective treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

Dental sealants are a thin, protective plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They are a powerful preventive tool, primarily for children and teenagers, that seals out food and plaque to prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.
