Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Faltine:
- 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 isn't just about your teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining your complete 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. Faltine can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Faltine, 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 are performed right here in our office.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- No, healthy gums should 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.
- 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 like a cap or helmet 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.
- 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 prevention, allowing our team to remove tartar buildup and identify problems like small cavities or gum disease early.
- 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. Faltine will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum changes can loosen dentures. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the current one is significantly worn. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
