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

• Occlusal Disease: Problems with your bite, known as occlusal disease, can cause wear and tear on your teeth and jaw, making preventive care like regular checkups essential.
• Ectodermal Dysplasia With Natal Teeth, Turnpenny Type: Because ectodermal dysplasia with natal teeth, Turnpenny type, can affect the number, shape, and structure of teeth, ongoing preventative care helps manage potential infections and bite problems.
• Odontogenic Lesions: Odontogenic lesions are abnormal growths or changes in the mouth's tissues that can sometimes signal bigger problems, so regular dental checkups are crucial for early detection and prevention.
• Fused Mandibular Incisors: Addressing fused mandibular incisors through preventive dental care and careful hygiene reduces the likelihood of infection or the need for more extensive dental procedures later on.
• Halitosis: Halitosis, or bad breath, can be a sign of underlying oral health issues like gum disease or cavities, so addressing it early helps prevent more serious problems.
• Teething: Teething, while a normal part of baby development, requires careful monitoring to prevent potential gum irritation and infections, ensuring your child's healthy smile from the start.
• Tongue-Tie: Recognizing and managing tongue-tie in children can safeguard their future oral health by enabling effective cleaning and healthy jaw development, thus lowering the risks of various oral diseases.

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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Yunior DDS and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This crucial preventive step helps remove tartar buildup that brushing can't, identify cavities early, and 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 gum disease, which is linked 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.

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.

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

Yes, modern digital dental X-rays use extremely low levels of radiation and are very safe. They allow Dr. Yunior DDS to see issues like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that aren't visible without them, enabling early intervention and better oral health.

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

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Yunior DDS recommends a child's first dental visit within six months of their first tooth erupting, or by their first birthday. This early visit is crucial for ensuring proper tooth development and establishing a positive dental home.

What are veneers and how are they different from crowns?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to enhance 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.
