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

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

Dr. Sangiovanni recommends seeing a dentist and hygienist every six months for a checkup 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 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 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. Maintaining good oral hygiene through preventive dental care is crucial for overall body health.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Sangiovanni can help some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A custom-fitted oral appliance, worn at night, can help keep the airway open, providing a comfortable alternative to CPAP. We will discuss your specific needs during your consultation.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

Yes, oral cancer screenings are a routine and important part of every dental check-up. Dr. Sangiovanni will visually inspect your lips, tongue, gums, and entire mouth for any abnormalities; early detection is key to successful treatment.

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, restoring its shape, size, and strength after significant damage or decay.

What is TMJ disorder?

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition affecting the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and headaches. Dr. Sangiovanni can help diagnose the issue and recommend treatments like a custom nightguard to prevent damage from grinding.

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.
