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

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

Dr. Yohanny DDS recommends visiting the dentist and dental hygienist every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This is a crucial preventive step to 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 professional cleanings 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?

Your oral health is intrinsically linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation (periodontitis) has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining optimal oral and systemic health.

What is a root canal and why is it needed?

A root canal is a procedure to save a badly infected or damaged tooth. We remove the inflamed pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it. This treatment relieves pain and prevents the need for tooth extraction. It's not a painful procedure, but rather a way to save your tooth.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Yohanny DDS can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep your airway open while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients. Please schedule a consultation to discuss your specific needs.

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. Yohanny DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and preventing future problems.
