Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Aghajanian:
- 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 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. Aghajanian 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 prevention, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and catch problems like small cavities or early gum disease before they become painful or expensive to treat.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch for a small area of damage, while a crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- 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, but if left untreated can progress to more serious gum disease.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums exposing tooth roots or worn-down enamel. Dr. Aghajanian can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, 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, the jawbone and gums change shape, which can loosen dentures. We can reline existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new set if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Aghajanian, 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. Aghajanian.
