WHICH TYPE OF DENTIST SHOULD I VISIT? COSMETIC DENTIST Cosmetic dentistry refers to any dental work that improves the overall aesthetic of the teeth and gums. There are a number of procedures that a cosmetic dentist can perform, including laser teeth whitening, tooth reshaping and bonding veneers.

ENDODONTIST Endodontists are dentists who maintain oral health through the soft inner tissue of the teeth, which is referred to as the “pulp.” They mostly specialize in root canals; if you have a bad cavity and you’ve been told that you need a root canal, you’ll need to visit the endodontist for this simple procedure.

GENERAL DENTIST The general dentist is the one you’ll want to see first to get an accurate diagnosis and referral, especially if you haven’t had a dental visit in a while. General dentists can provide routine cleanings (recommended every six months), fill cavities and refer you to another dental specialist if needed.

ORAL SURGEON Oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat injuries, diseases and defects in the jaws, face, head, neck and oral and maxillofacial tissues. You’ll need to visit the oral surgeon for procedures like the removal of wisdom teeth or the integration of dental implants.

ORTHODONTIST An orthodontist is a specialist who deals with the diagnosis, prevention and correction of teeth alignment and the jaws. Orthodontists typically use devices such as braces or retainers to fix the alignment of the teeth and jaw.

PEDIATRIC DENTIST A pediatric dentist is a general dentist who specializes in children from birth to adolescence. It’s important to start dental visits six months after the first tooth develops or by the child’s first birthday.

PERIODONTIST A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in preventing gum disease and placing dental implants in the gums. They assess the condition of the gums and take X-rays to determine the condition of the bone below the gum line. If you’ve been told that you have gum disease, you’ll need to visit the periodontist for assessment and cleaning.

PROSTHODONTIST A prosthodontist is an expert in the replacement and restoration of teeth. They specialize in creating a smooth and beautiful smile through the use of bridges, crowns and partial or full dentures. If you’ve lost a few teeth due to an accident or simply as part of the aging process, you’ll want to consult a prosthodontist to restore your smile.

WHY IS A HEALTHY MOUTH GOOD FOR YOU? Why is it so important to practice good dental hygiene? The answer is that your dental health is critical for the overall health of your body. Poor dental conditions can lead to serious health problems, such as stroke, heart disease, preterm labor and poorly controlled diabetes. Here is a short primer on major medical issues that can arise from inadequate dental hygiene.

CARDIOVASCULAR INFECTION When bacteria get into the bloodstream, they can spread to your heart and cause endocarditis, which is a very serious infection of the heart lining and valves. If you have a strong immune system, this condition is quite rare. However, if your immune system has been lowered by HIV/AIDS, chemotherapy or type 2 diabetes, endocarditis can be a major risk that accompanies gingivitis.

STROKE There’s a host of growing evidence that gingivitis can raise your risk for blood clots and stroke. Bacteria in the mouth can move to the heart, inflaming the arteries and resulting in plaque breaking off to cause a heart attack or stroke. There is a direct correlation between the severity of gingivitis and the amount of carotid artery plaque.

TYPE 2 DIABETES While poor oral hygiene can’t directly cause type 2 diabetes, it can certainly aggravate it. Diabetics are at a higher risk of developing gum disease due to high blood sugar, which provides ample nutrition for bacteria to grow. Chronic gum disease (or any type of infection) can cause insulin resistance, knocking your blood sugar levels off balance and making your diabetes more difficult to control.

PRETERM LABOR Periodontal disease can raise your risk of preterm delivery or low infant birth rate. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 18 percent of preterm and low birth weight cases in the United States every year may be caused by oral infections. Oral bacteria can release toxins into the mother’s bloodstream and therefore the placenta, which can interfere with the fetus’s development and growth.
