• Receding Gums: Protecting your gums from recession through proper oral hygiene is a key component of preventative dental care, safeguarding your smile and overall well-being.

• Cleft Lip: Addressing cleft lip early through surgical repair and ongoing dental care minimizes the risk of future dental problems, such as misaligned teeth or difficulty cleaning.

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

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

At Dr. Zoila DMD, we recommend visiting every six months for a check-up and cleaning. This allows our dental hygienists to remove tartar buildup that brushing alone can't, and helps us catch cavities early. Regular check-ups 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 can be linked to other health problems.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Your oral health is directly linked to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular preventive dental care is crucial for maintaining not only a healthy mouth but also a healthy body.

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

What are veneers and how are they different from crowns?

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

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 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. It's a common and effective way to preserve your smile.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity can result from various factors, including worn enamel, receding gums exposing the tooth root, or tiny cracks in the tooth. A proper diagnosis by Dr. Zoila DMD is essential to identify the specific cause and recommend appropriate treatments, such as desensitizing toothpaste or in-office procedures.
