Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. McAdams:
- 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 your 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. McAdams 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 worn-down enamel. Dr. McAdams can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change shape, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. McAdams can reline existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if the current ones are significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- 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 like cavities and gum disease, which can be caught early and treated easily. Our team can remove tartar buildup, which helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding while brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene, but if left untreated can progress to more serious gum disease.
- 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 like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone. Dr. McAdams can discuss if implants are a good option for you during your consultation.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. McAdams, 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. McAdams.
