A baby's first teeth usually start to grow around six months of age. It is recommended that your child visits their children's dentist by the age of one. While all of their teeth may not be fully in by this age, it's important to get them accustomed to visiting the dentist early on to establish a positive care routine. Without proper dental care, your child may be at risk of oral decay and disease, potentially leading to long-term dental issues.

By prioritizing your child's oral health from the start, you can help ensure they enjoy a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles.

Dental sealants are thin, plastic coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to help prevent cavities. These teeth have deep grooves where food particles and bacteria can get trapped, making them more prone to decay. The sealant creates a smooth, protective layer over these grooves, effectively sealing out food and bacteria, which helps reduce the risk of cavities.

Dental sealants are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, who are more likely to develop cavities in their back teeth, but adults can also benefit from them. The process of applying sealants is quick, non-invasive, and pain-free, typically involving cleaning the tooth, applying the sealant material, and curing it with a special light. Sealants can last for several years with proper care.

Snoring caused by sleep apnea is a condition that affects millions of Americans each year. It occurs when the airway becomes blocked during sleep due to excessive relaxation of the muscles in the back of the throat. This blockage restricts oxygen intake, prompting your body to wake you up just enough to take a deep breath. In some cases, this can happen hundreds of times throughout the night without the person being aware of it. As a result, you may feel fatigued despite having a full night's rest, and this condition can lead to more serious health issues such as heart problems or stroke.

For many people, it’s their partner who first notices the disrupted sleep patterns. However, there are some symptoms that could indicate sleep apnea, which you may recognize yourself. If you experience any of the following, it may be worth getting checked for sleep apnea:

• Loud or interrupted snoring
• Sudden waking during the night
• Waking up gasping for air
• Feeling fatigued despite a full night’s sleep
• Morning headaches

For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, Dr. Ommar can create a custom mandibular advancement dental appliance, similar to a mouth guard, to be worn during sleep. This device works by gently shifting your jaw forward to open the airway. It is an excellent option for those who find it difficult to tolerate a CPAP machine.
