Here are some FAQs about general dentistry:

  • Why Are Regular Dental Checkups Important?

    Regular dental checkups are essential for catching issues early, like cavities or gum disease, before they become serious and costly to treat. They also help to remove plaque buildup that daily brushing and flossing may miss. Your dentist can detect early warning signs of potential health problems, from oral cancer to diabetes. Consistent dental checkups keep your smile healthy and help prevent pain or more extensive dental work down the road.

  • What Are Deep Cleanings and Why Might I Need Them?

    Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, are recommended if there are signs of gum disease. Unlike a regular cleaning, deep cleaning reaches below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar, helping your gums heal and reducing inflammation. This process can prevent more serious infections and tooth loss. If your gums are bleeding, sensitive, or receding, a deep cleaning may be just what you need to restore your gum health.

  • Adult Fluoride Treatments: Do I Need Them?

    Yes! Fluoride treatments aren’t just for kids—adults benefit too. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It’s particularly helpful if you’re prone to cavities, have gum disease, or have weakened enamel from acidic foods or beverages. Regular fluoride treatments as part of your dental visits can help protect your teeth, reduce sensitivity, and keep your smile strong as you age.

  • Teeth Grinding? The Importance of Occlusal Guards

    Grinding or clenching your teeth, known as bruxism, can lead to worn-down enamel, broken teeth, and jaw pain. Occlusal guards (or night guards) protect your teeth while you sleep by creating a barrier between the upper and lower teeth. Wearing an occlusal guard can prevent long-term damage, reduce pain, and even improve your sleep quality by easing jaw tension.

  • How Does Dental Health Impact Overall Health?

    Your mouth is a gateway to your body, and dental health plays a big role in your overall wellness. Poor oral health can lead to bacteria entering the bloodstream, which increases inflammation and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s. Keeping your gums and teeth healthy reduces the risk of these conditions, helping protect not only your smile but your entire body.

  • Can Good Dental Health Prevent Heart Issues and Other Diseases?

    Yes! Studies show that gum disease is associated with higher risks of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and even cognitive conditions like Alzheimer’s. Maintaining good dental health helps limit harmful bacteria that could travel through the bloodstream, reducing systemic inflammation. Regular checkups, cleanings, and good at-home care are key to protecting your dental health and overall well-being.
