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

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

At Dr. Zayda DMD, we recommend visiting 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 excellent 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 is 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 therefore crucial for maintaining optimal body health.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Zayda DMD can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A custom-fitted oral appliance, worn at night, can keep the airway open, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP for eligible patients.

What are dental sealants, and who should get them?

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

When should my child first see a dentist?

Dr. Zayda 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 for future care.

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

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.
