Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Shultz:
- 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 for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth and gums, 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. Shultz can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Shultz can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of a damaged tooth. A crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, used when a tooth is more damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing strength and protection.
- 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 they don't have any pain. These visits are vital for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, which can be caught and treated early before they become more serious.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum changes can cause dentures to loosen. Dr. Shultz can perform a relining procedure to reshape the denture for a better fit, or create a new denture if needed. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Shultz, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Shultz.
- 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 that looks and feels natural, and can help preserve the jawbone. If you have sufficient jawbone health, implants may be a great option for you.
