Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Azad:
- 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 isn't just about your teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining 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. Azad can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Azad can perform a relining procedure to reshape the denture for a better fit, or create a new denture if needed. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Yes, dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge, restoring a natural look and feel, and can 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 vital for prevention, allowing our team to remove tartar buildup and identify problems like small cavities or gum disease early, before they cause pain or become more costly to treat.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Azad 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 an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual examination of your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Azad performs this vital part of 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. Azad, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Azad will determine the best course of action for your specific needs.
