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

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

At Dr. Kelsey Redwantz's practice, we recommend seeing a dentist and hygienist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. This helps prevent tartar buildup, 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 can be linked to other health problems.

How is oral health connected to my overall health?

Oral health is intrinsically linked to overall well-being. Chronic gum inflammation, or periodontitis, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Preventive dental care is essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health.

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.

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 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, particularly for children and teenagers, sealing out food and plaque to help prevent cavities from forming in the deep grooves of the teeth.

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

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Dr. Redwantz can help with some cases of snoring and sleep apnea. For some patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, she can create a custom-fitted oral appliance to keep the airway open while you sleep, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP.
