- Dental Injury: Broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or injuries to your mouth are all considered dental injuries that your dentist can repair or manage.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Hamidfar:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter the bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth, but also your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Hamidfar can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Hamidfar, perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Hamidfar will determine if a referral is needed to ensure the best possible outcome.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Hamidfar can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding while brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious gum disease.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge, looking and feeling like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup and early cavities or gum disease, which can become painful or expensive to treat if left unaddressed.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Hamidfar can reline the existing denture to reshape it for a better fit, or create a new denture if necessary. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
