Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Barnett:
- 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 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. Barnett can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- 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, which looks and feels like a natural tooth, and help preserve the jawbone.
- 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 preventing problems, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and catch small cavities or early gum disease before they become painful or expensive to treat.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual examination of the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Barnett performs this important screening during every routine dental exam to help detect potential problems early, which is key to successful treatment.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Barnett, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Barnett will assess your needs and determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Barnett 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?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding when 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. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease.
