Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Taylor:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your 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, and it's a significant dental concern. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities and gum disease, so dry mouth significantly increases your risk. Dr. Taylor 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. Taylor, often perform root canals. Many can be handled in our office. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis), which can progress to more serious gum disease if left untreated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
- 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 good option for you.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Taylor can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of damage, while a crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is more severely damaged or has had a root canal, providing additional strength and protection.
- 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. 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 important for comfortable eating and speaking.
