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

• Salivary Gland Stones and Inflammation: Ignoring salivary gland issues can result in severe complications, so prompt dental care for any signs of swelling or pain is crucial for preventing long-term problems.
• Tooth Malformation: Certain tooth malformations can impact your ability to properly clean your teeth, raising your risk of cavities and gum disease; regular dental visits for professional cleaning and guidance are essential for prevention.
• Broken Tooth: Addressing a broken tooth promptly minimizes the risk of infection spreading to other teeth or to your overall health, emphasizing the connection between oral and systemic well-being.
• Chipped Tooth: Addressing a chipped tooth promptly minimizes the chance of the chip worsening, possibly leading to a more complex and costly repair later on.
• Tooth Abrasion: Early detection of tooth abrasion allows for timely intervention, such as adjusting brushing techniques or using fluoride treatments, minimizing further enamel loss and preventing future problems.
• Clicking of Temporomandibular Joint: Preventive care includes monitoring your jaw joint; a clicking sound is a potential sign of TMJ disorder that warrants an examination to prevent complications.
• Swollen Gums: Preventing swollen gums starts with diligent brushing and flossing to remove plaque and bacteria, reducing your risk of gum inflammation and infection.

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

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

For most people, a visit to Dr. Fundora and our dental hygienists every six months is recommended. This schedule helps remove tartar buildup that brushing alone 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 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?

Oral health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining overall body health.

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 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.

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 method helps prevent bone loss and preserves the health of surrounding teeth.

Do you perform oral cancer screenings?

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

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.

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. Fundora to see issues like cavities and bone loss that aren't visible otherwise, enabling early intervention and better oral health.
