Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Herber:
- 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 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. Herber can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are crucial for preventing problems like tartar buildup, cavities, and gum disease, which can be caught early and treated before they cause pain or become costly.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, which can loosen dentures. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the existing one is significantly worn. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Herber will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Herber, are trained to perform many root canal procedures. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary. Dr. Herber will assess your situation and recommend the best course of action. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office.
- 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.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Tooth sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Herber can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the problem.
