Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Boone:
- 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 isn't just about your teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining your total 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. Boone can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease, but is often reversible with professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless, but vital part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Boone will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Boone can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for prevention, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and catch problems like small cavities or early gum disease before they become painful or expensive to treat.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Boone, are trained to perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Boone will determine if a referral is needed for the best possible outcome, such as for a difficult-to-reach molar.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum changes can loosen dentures. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
