How do I know if I need a dental deep cleaning?
Daily brushing and flossing are effective ways to encourage healthy teeth and gums between scheduled dental exam and cleaning appointments. While you may have an idea that you need deep teeth cleaning or are developing gum disease due to inflamed or bleeding gums, our dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth and confirm this at your dental exam and cleaning. If you have early signs of gum disease, a better at-home routine, and more frequent exams may be recommended instead.
What can happen if gingivitis goes untreated?
The first stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. Gingivitis is the only stage reversible at home and with the help of our team. When left untreated, it will continue to advance into more aggressive stages of gum disease that may require more than deep teeth cleaning. The accumulation of bacteria can cause gums to swell, bleed, and ultimately result in tooth loss.
How can I take care of my gums at home?
The best way to take care of your gums at home is to practice preventive dentistry measures. Some preventive dentistry strategies include maintaining dental exam and cleaning appointments, brushing and flossing, receiving fluoride treatment, and discussing ways to achieve better oral health with our team each time you visit. Saltwater rinses with lukewarm water, and switching to a healthier, less sugary diet may also help!

What are the common signs and symptoms I should be aware of?
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, some of the most common signs include loud snoring, stopping breathing while asleep, gasping for air during sleep, dry mouth on waking, morning headaches, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), and mood changes. It’s important to talk with your doctor and/or dentist if you believe you may suffer from sleep apnea.
Can sleep apnea be cured, or is it a manageable condition?
Yes! In many cases, sleep apnea can be either cured or managed depending on the root cause of the disorder. If you’re curious about the options available to you, call our office to schedule your consultation.
Will sleep apnea treatment need to be continued for life?
Many who receive sleep apnea treatment are lifelong patients. The root cause of your sleep apnea will often dictate treatment options and how long you can expect to continue treatment for sleep apnea.
