Most patients of traditional dentists only go into the office on an \"as-needed\" basis. Moreover, when they are there, they typically will not receive any education on their condition. Their dentists do not tell them how their symptoms manifested, what other health problems they could indicate, or how to address the root causes of their condition.</p>\n<p>In contrast, comprehensive dentists take a more integrative approach. They focus on treating a patient’s total health <a title=\"Read more about Oral-Systemic Health\" href=\"https://www.ada.org/en/member-center/oral-health-topics/oral-systemic-health\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist\">through treating their oral health</a>. By looking for the root cause of a patient’s symptoms, comprehensive dentists can often identify signs of broader health conditions. As such, they are more directly involved in their patients’ care — and provide them with the necessary education needed to do the same.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 comprehensive-dentist v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"comprehensive-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about why comprehensive dentistry\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"By looking for the root cause of a patient’s symptoms, comprehensive dentists can often identify signs of larger health conditions.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 comprehensive-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"comprehensive-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about choosing a comprehensive dentist\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"choosing-a-comprehensive-dentist\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Choosing a Comprehensive Dentist</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Many people are hesitant to see a comprehensive dentist because they do not know if it will be covered under their insurance. However, comprehensive dental offices operate just as conventional dental offices do. Many practices are covered by various health insurance plans, though some cosmetic and restorative treatments may need to be paid for out-of-pocket. As insurance carriers consider dental coverage to be a <a title=\"Read more about Dental coverage in the Marketplace\" href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/dental-coverage/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist\">non-essential benefit</a>, it is always best for patients to confirm with their insurance company and healthcare provider before making any plans.</p>\n<p>As several conditions have direct relationships with oral health, all members of a patient’s medical team should have contact with each other. This allows for a more thorough understanding of a patient’s total health. However, primary care providers rarely ask a patient about their oral health. With a patient’s permission, a comprehensive dentist can alert any relevant healthcare providers about any warning signs indicative of disease and work together to create the best treatment plan for their unique needs.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 comprehensive-dentist v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"comprehensive-dentist v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about choosing a comprehensive dentist\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"With a patient’s permission, a comprehensive dentist can alert any relevant healthcare providers about any warning signs indicative of disease and work together to create the best treatment plan for their unique needs.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 comprehensive-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"comprehensive-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about lifestyle changes for total health\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"lifestyle-changes-to-improve-oral-health\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Lifestyle Changes for Total Health</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Since a comprehensive dentist focuses on all aspects of a patient’s health, they can also recommend any lifestyle changes that may benefit them.

Once food enters the mouth, it will inevitably affect tissue health. Conversely, oral health will affect a patient’s ability to eat. Healthy eating habits can keep both of these potential problems in check. Patients are well-advised to avoid natural and added sugars, processed starches, and low pH-level acids.</p>\n<p>Practicing good oral hygiene is also a critical part of improving dental health. This means brushing teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing nightly, and rinsing with a fluoridated mouthwash. Patients should ensure that they are brushing correctly — taking the time to move the toothbrush in gentle, circular motions rather than over- or under-brushing. And, since nothing can replace a comprehensive dentist’s expertise, patients should go in for regular wellness visits at least twice a year. Some patients may need to go more frequently, depending on their needs.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 comprehensive-dentist v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"comprehensive-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about lifestyle changes for total health\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Since a comprehensive dentist focuses on all aspects of a patient’s health, they can also recommend any lifestyle changes that may benefit them.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 comprehensive-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"comprehensive-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Comprehensive Dentist services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"comprehensive-dentist-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Comprehensive Dentist in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Comprehensive-Dentist\">Comprehensive Dentist in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS comprehensive-dentist v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"comprehensive-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about understanding the oral health connection\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-is-the-oral-health-connection\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Understanding the Oral Health Connection</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p><a title=\"Read more about \" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/dental/art-20047475#:~:text=Studies%20suggest%20that%20oral%20bacteria,oral%20health%20problems%20more%20severe.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Comprehensive-Dentist\">According to the Mayo Clinic</a>, a patient’s dental health often reflects the state of their overall health — primarily because the mouth is a natural breeding ground for bacteria.

At that point, it may cause various oral infections or enter the digestive and respiratory tracts. Consequently, any oral health issues should be treated as potential signs of underlying health problems. This is known as the oral health connection.</p>\n<p>Cardiovascular conditions and diabetes are two of the most common systemic health issues associated with oral health.

Once hardened under the gum line, this plaque will turn into tartar and develop into gingivitis, a milder form of gum disease. If left untreated, it will eventually lead to periodontitis.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Am I at risk for periodontal disease?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Some lifestyle choices can put a person at risk for periodontal disease. These include excessive alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and poor nutrition. Age, bruxism (also known as teeth grinding), genetics, medications, and stress can also play a role. Everyone has a unique risk profile.

Chronic gum inflammation is one of the leading causes of periodontal disease. This creates pockets between the gums and teeth, filling with plaque, tartar, and bacteria. These pockets become deeper over time, and the inflammation may spread to other parts of the body.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Why do comprehensive dentists care about patient education?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Without a basic understanding of what is affecting them and why, many patients feel helpless, intimidated, and left to the healthcare system’s whims.

NY</span></h1>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP1\">The emergence of complete health dentistry has seen an astounding advancement in the dental industry as researchers find a connection between oral and general health. The mouth is the leading entryway to the body and is known as the window to a person\'s general health. A complete health dentist understands the connection between oral and overall health, running  their practice on the application of modern dentistry with a focus on systemic relief.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">People who take proper hygiene measures to ensure their oral health is up to par may have fewer general health problems. Although many conditions, illnesses, and diseases are genetic, it is possible to combat others through proper oral hygiene. Understanding and applying the oral-systemic link can profoundly enhance a person\'s health and well-being.</p>\n<p>Complete health dentistry is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Our staff can help you learn more about the oral-general health connection.

Maintaining a proper oral hygiene routine is crucial from the moment the first teeth erupt. A healthy routine for adult teeth consists of brushing 2-3 times a day, flossing daily, rinsing before and after meals, and visiting the dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Genetic</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>A variety of oral health conditions are primarily genetic and may be out of a person\'s control. In most cases, health conditions are a combination of genes and the environment. Oral conditions found to be genetic to some extent include periodontal disease, cavities and caries, tooth decay and erosion, oral cancer, cleft lip or palate, and misaligned teeth. These conditions can escalate with improper or inadequate oral hygiene and impact other body systems.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">How to Prevent These Issues</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Oral care in early infanthood (wiping down or brushing the infant\'s gums several times a day) is the first step in the oral health journey and can significantly decrease a person\'s risk of other diseases through adulthood. More severe conditions such as gingivitis, periodontal disease, and oral cancer can be treated by a dental professional through surgeries and various treatments when found early on.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 conditions-linked-to-dental-health v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"conditions-linked-to-dental-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about habitual vs. genetic\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"In most cases, health conditions are a combination of genes and environment.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 conditions-linked-to-dental-health v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"conditions-linked-to-dental-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about cavities and sensitive teeth\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<a name=\"do-cavities-relate-to-teeth-sensitivity\"></a>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Cavities and Sensitive Teeth</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Cavities and caries are the root causes of initial tooth decay caused by a breakdown of the tooth\'s enamel.

They utilize only biocompatible, non-toxic materials, eliminate infections in the mouth that can affect other systems, and promote optimal health between the jaw, head, teeth, and neck structural relationships. The main difference is that a complete health dentist identifies areas of oral disease and structural dysfunction that may be impacting your overall health, pinpoints the causes, and treats these issues using holistic methods.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What treatments or procedures do complete health dentists offer?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Some of the treatments complete health dentists provide are natural dental cleanings that do not involve the use of fluoride, dental fillings that are BPA-free & metal-free, IV therapy, nutritional counseling, crown replacement using metal-free components, and metal-free dental bridges. They can also refer a patient to a complete medical professional who can examine them for issues found by the dentist or related to oral health concerns.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How can a complete health dentist detect signs of other conditions and diseases?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Complete health dentists first target essential problems that can cause tooth decay and tooth loss, such as cavities and caries. They also test for gum disease and periodontal disease to detect harmful bacteria, as many of the symptoms do not arise until there is a significant effect on the teeth. They also conduct an oral cancer screening to catch the disease in its early stages, which can eliminate it while also preventing other diseases from occurring.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can a medical care physician refer me to a complete health dentist if my condition is oral-related?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Yes. Complete health dentists and complete health physicians work hand-in-hand to relieve symptoms and target issues that affect both the mouth and other body systems. A complete health physician understands whether a general health condition is related to oral concerns. A patient can be referred to either when diagnosed with an issue, and oral and general concerns can be combated simultaneously to achieve more effective results.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are common conditions or diseases a complete health dentist can detect from looking in the mouth?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">By understanding the oral-systemic health connection, complete health dentists can detect diabetes, leukemia, oral cancer, pancreatic cancer, heart disease, and kidney disease among other conditions. They can also recognize eating disorders, heavy drinking and smoking, stress, anxiety, and pregnancy.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ conditions-linked-to-dental-health v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"conditions-linked-to-dental-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

In other words, conventional dentists often fail to consider any indicators of overall health – or how systemic conditions may affect oral health.

As the mouth is one of the first points of entrance into the digestive and respiratory tracts, it also acts as a natural breeding ground for bacteria. Poor oral hygiene practices can allow such bacteria to flourish at dangerously high levels, potentially leading to various oral infections.

Bridges and implants are two common tooth replacement options. Bridges are also known as fixed partial dentures and are only anchored onto surrounding teeth once prepared for crowns. Implants, on the other hand, are surgically implanted into the jawbone to replace one or more teeth.

In more severe cases, orthodontics may prepare a patient for surgery. There are three distinct classes of malocclusions: Class 1 is when the upper teeth slightly overlap the lower teeth, Class 2 is when the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth, and Class 3 is when the lower teeth significantly overlap the upper teeth.</p>\n<p>Symptoms of malocclusion can range from minor to severe. Not only does it affect the patient’s appearance, but it may also result in discomfort when chewing or biting. It may cause the patient to bite the inner cheeks or tongue frequently, develop a lisp, or even breathe through the mouth rather than the nose.

Thin or weak gums can also be genetic, eventually leading to gum recession. Additionally, diabetes can reduce the blood supply to the gums.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Do I really need to replace my missing tooth?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Yes. Missing teeth are not just a matter of aesthetics. Even missing one molar can affect the way you chew. Teeth surrounding the missing tooth will also be subjected to undue pressure and shift around, eventually leading to bone loss. This will further negatively affect both appearance and function in the long run.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What systemic conditions is oral health linked to?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">There are several different system conditions linked to oral health. However, some of the most common involve diabetes, heart conditions, and osteoporosis. Pregnancy and oral health may also affect each other. University Dental Associates can work together with your other healthcare providers to determine your unique risk factors.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is teeth whitening permanent?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">No. Teeth will stain again over time as they face exposure to the factors that made them stain in the first place. Those who are vigilant in avoiding such factors may be able to wait up to a year or longer before needing a touch-up. Others, however, may see diminished effects in as soon as a month.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How can I maintain my smile?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Smile maintenance begins with good oral hygiene. Brush at least twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste, taking care to floss away plaque every night. Drink fluoridated water as needed and eat a balanced diet. Avoid food and beverages that may stain your teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ dental-aesthetics v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"dental-aesthetics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

Some conditions may put patients more at risk for periodontal disease. At the same time, periodontal disease may further aggravate certain conditions. As a result, patients require comprehensive treatment for optimal care. While traditional dentists typically treat isolated conditions, complete health dentists view a patient’s health in its entirety. This involves educating the patient on their condition, how it manifested, other systemic diseases it may indicate, and how to address it at the root.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, successful treatment must involve sufficient inter-provider communication.

However, good oral hygiene should be the first defense for anyone looking to prevent gum disease. Brushing at least twice daily and flossing once nightly can help remove plaque, especially when using a fluoridated toothpaste and mouthwash. University Dental Associates can help determine your unique risk profile and what you can do to bring your mouth back to a healthy mouth baseline.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are there any risk factors for gum disease?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Lifestyle choices significantly affect one’s risk of developing gum disease. These involve excessive alcohol intake, tobacco use, and poor nutrition. Age, genetics, stress, medications, and grinding or clenching teeth may also play a factor. However, this list is not exhaustive.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the causes of gum disease?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Typically, gum disease begins with a buildup of excess plaque. If left undisturbed for long enough, this plaque will eventually turn to tartar under the gumline. From then on, it will develop into gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease. If left untreated, this condition will progress into periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Why does complete health dentistry involve patient education?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Patients often lack the necessary knowledge to make informed, critical decisions about their care. As a result, they may feel lost or taken advantage of within the healthcare system. Our goal is to empower our patients to become active participants in their recovery, those with realistic goals and a more comprehensive understanding of the conditions that affect them.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is pregnancy a preexisting condition?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Pregnancy is not a preexisting condition for most insurance plans.

This sudden increase may lead to gum disease and heighten the risk of tooth decay, among other dental problems. Such issues typically occur due to hormone changes, though other causes may include cravings for sugary foods, gum problems, retching while brushing teeth, and vomiting.</p>\n<p>Pregnant women frequently experience cavities, gingivitis, loose teeth, periodontal disease, pregnancy tumors, and tooth erosion. Gingivitis is particularly common, affecting 60 to 75% of expectant mothers. Symptoms involve bleeding gums, redness and swelling, shiny gums, and tenderness in the gums. If left untreated, it can progress into a more severe form of gum disease known as periodontitis.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-health-during-pregnancy v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-health-during-pregnancy v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about common dental conditions during pregnancy\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"For some women, pregnancy increases the production of plaque.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-health-during-pregnancy v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-health-during-pregnancy v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about why total health dentistry during pregnancy\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"total-health-dentist-during-pregnancy\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Why Total Health Dentistry During Pregnancy</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Expectant mothers should keep a close eye on their dental health, as <a title=\"Read more about pregnancy increases the risk of complications\" href=\"https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/HealthyLiving/pregnancy-and-teeth\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Health-During-Pregnancy\">pregnancy increases the risk of complications</a> with the gums or teeth. If these complications lead to periodontitis, there will be a higher chance of the baby being born prematurely or at a low birth weight. Periodontitis is also associated with various systemic health problems, which could further endanger both the mother and the unborn child.</p>\n<p>Conversely, pregnant women with preexisting conditions may be more susceptible to dental issues. This can lead to a never-ending cycle of health problems, making it extra crucial for expectant mothers to see a total health dentist. While most traditional dentists treat isolated conditions, complete health dentists treat the patient’s health in its entirety. In other words, they account for any risk factors that may affect a person’s ideal treatment plan.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-health-during-pregnancy v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-health-during-pregnancy v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about why total health dentistry during pregnancy\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Expectant mothers should keep a close eye on their dental health, as pregnancy increases the risk of complications with the gums or teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-health-during-pregnancy v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-health-during-pregnancy v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about taking care of dental health during pregnancy\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"dental-health-during-pregnancy\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Taking Care of Dental Health During Pregnancy</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Expectant mothers are <a title=\"Read more about Brushing for Two\" href=\"https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/prenatal/Pages/Brushing-for-Two-How-Your-Oral-Health-Effects-Baby.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Health-During-Pregnancy\">prone to neglecting their dental health</a> due to high levels of fatigue and frequent snacking.

Furthermore, once the baby arrives, the mother may potentially pass on the bacteria to the newborn through vertical transmission.

This makes it a natural breeding ground for bacteria. Though most of such bacteria are harmless, they may quickly multiply to dangerously high levels if the patient does not practice proper oral hygiene. It should come as no surprise that oral health goes hand in hand with various systemic health conditions — particularly heart health and sleep.</p>\n<p>Snoring and other sleep disturbances are often indicative of sleep apnea, which may be caused by oral health issues. Additionally, research also suggests that dental bacteria cause inflammation and infections that may lead to clogged arteries, heart disease, and stroke.

you are concerned about the appearance of your old fillings, new tooth-colored treatments can restore and transform your teeth. Silver and gold fillings are a thing of the past as cosmetic treatments such as inlays and onlays are a new and effective treatment. Inlays and onlays are similar to traditional fillings as they fit inside the tooth where a cavity once was and seal it. The signifying difference is that they come in a variety of tooth-colored materials for an enhanced, more uniform smile.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">As most inlay and onlay treatments replace old fillings, the cavity has already been removed and filled. This makes treatment easier, faster, and generally pain-free. Inlays and onlays provide a more sustainable treatment and a natural-looking smile.</p>\n<p>Inlays and onlays are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Our staff can help you determine whether this treatment is right for you.

They filled and sealed the tooth but were made only of gold. Inlays today are made of tooth-colored material such as ceramic, porcelain, or a specialized dental composite.</p>\n<p>The inlay consists of the tooth-colored material and bonding, a clear fluid material, to attach the inlay to the tooth. As explained by <a title=\"Read more about Bonding\" href=\"https://www.gotoapro.org/bonding/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Inlays-and-Onlays\">the American College of Prosthodontists</a>, \"Using a clear fluid version of this material to seal the exposed surfaces of the teeth decreases sensitivity to temperature changes and certain types of foods.\" The bonding material is also tooth-colored and may help improve the color and appearance of stained or discolored teeth.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Onlays</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Onlays are similar to inlays in that they fill a missing hole caused by a cavity, but onlays extend onto the chewing surface of a tooth to replace one or more cusps. Traditionally, they were also only made of gold, but tooth-colored onlays have made an appearance in dentistry. An onlay is considered a more effective option for patients with large cavities or the decayed area expands over the top of the tooth.</p>\n<p>The process of inlays and onlays both involve bonding material to attach and seal it to the tooth.

Increasingly, patients have had the option to choose between a filling or inlay when treating a cavity. We use an impression of the cavity in question to ensure the inlay is the exact size and shape, as opposed to other options that may weaken the tooth. In this way, the cemented inlay strengthens the tooth rather than weakening it.</p>\n<p>As inlays become more popular because of their appearance, fillings are hardly ever requested. However, a dentist may resort to a filling for cases in which the patient is allergic to the inlay material used. In many cases, special dental material can be used as an inlay to provide the patient with the highest level of comfort.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-inlays-and-onlays v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-inlays-and-onlays v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about inlay or filling\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Inlays are formulated using an impression of the cavity and are fabricated to the exact size and shape of the cavity as opposed to being filled in.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-inlays-and-onlays v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-inlays-and-onlays v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about onlay vs. crown\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"should-i-get-an-onlay\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Onlay vs. Crown</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>An onlay is generally used when a patient has a small hole that is only a tad larger than an inlay or old filling.

They are intended to protect and seal the tooth from further damage using cemented material custom-fit to each tooth. The sealed inlays also protect the tooth from air and food particles from entering the tooth, which causes a sensitive sensation. Before an inlay treatment, the dentist removes all bacteria from inside the tooth and throughout the hole, attaining a higher level of oral hygiene. Inlays are more stable and stay in your tooth for much longer than a filling with proper oral care.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Onlays</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Onlays have much of the same benefits as inlays. An added benefit to onlays is they can save much of the patient’s tooth structure and provide additional strength and support for the affected tooth. Crowns require treatment and typically involve removing the entire tooth, or at minimum, much of the tooth structure. Onlays are also custom-fit for each patient and use stain-resistant material, making them last much longer without affecting appearance.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 dental-inlays-and-onlays v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"dental-inlays-and-onlays v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of inlays and onlays\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Before an inlay treatment, the dentist removes all bacteria from inside the tooth and throughout the hole, attaining a higher level of oral hygiene.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 dental-inlays-and-onlays v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"dental-inlays-and-onlays v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Dental Inlays and Onlays\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

They are not meant to protect or treat the teeth and will not provide coverage against damage or decay. Before placing in the veneer, the dentist shaves down most of the tooth to make room for the full tooth-sized veneer. Since veneers are irreversible, if one becomes chipped or broken, the patient will have a cracked or missing tooth until it is corrected.</p>\n<p>Inlays and onlays do much more to save the teeth and protect against further damage with protective, specialized dental material. Once an inlay or onlay fills the tooth, the gaping hole and surrounding area are sealed, making it easier to maintain oral health and prevent future decay. Veneers are cosmetic appliances used primarily to cover up damaged and decayed teeth, much like crowns and caps.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 dental-inlays-and-onlays v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"dental-inlays-and-onlays v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Dental Inlays and Onlays\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions about Inlays and Onlays</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Does insurance cover inlays and onlays?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Inlays and onlays are considered specialty cosmetic treatments. Patients should speak with their insurance provider to understand coverage regarding these treatments before initiating a consultation.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can inlays and onlays break or fall off?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">As with fillings, poor oral hygiene and maintenance can cause an inlay or onlay to break or fall off. Although they are much more durable, patients should take the necessary measures to maintain the quality of the inlay or onlay. The dentist will instruct the patient on how to care for their teeth going forward after their treatment.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is it safe to remove all of my fillings and replace them with inlays?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">In most cases, yes. Inlays have essentially the same function as fillings in that they \"fill in\" a hole left by a cavity, but they are much more durable and are tooth-colored. However, in some cases, the cavity or hole is too large and may cause bleeding, in which case the dentist will likely recommend an onlay or crown.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Do inlays and onlays require additional care?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Inlays and onlays are long-lasting restorations and are meant to last. They do not need specific care but regular maintenance as with the rest of your teeth. Oral hygienic habits, such as proper brushing twice a day, flossing, rinsing, and regular dental check-ups and cleanings should keep your inlays and onlays intact and well-kept.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is there anything I cannot eat or drink after inlay/onlay treatment?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">As with temporary fillings, patients should avoid sticky or hard foods that could damage or break a temporary inlay or onlay. Once the permanent is placed in, you may resume normal eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Inlays and onlays are made to be as close to your natural teeth as possible and should not affect your eating or drinking habits.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ dental-inlays-and-onlays v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"dental-inlays-and-onlays v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

Having this coverage is the best way to prepare for any unexpected dental problems that might arise. Each month, people will pay a set dollar amount, called a premium, to pay for coverage. The monthly premium will depend on the insurance company, the location, and the chosen plan. Depending on the insurance plan, it can cover some or even all of the costs of certain dental treatments.</p>\n<p>In many cases, the dentist\'s office will bill the insurance plan directly for care provided, and the patient will only need to pay a copay for each visit or treatment. A dentist <a title=\"Read more about Dental Health Insurance\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-health-insurance#2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Insurance\">can not answer questions about a specific dental insurance plan</a> or predict what level of coverage for a particular procedure will be.

The first step to finding the right dental plan involves evaluating needs. Young, single adults with good dental health and no family history of oral problems will have different dental insurance needs than a family with a parent who has a family history of gum disease. The likelihood of more frequent visits to the dentist and more extensive treatments indicates the need for a more comprehensive dental insurance policy. Making a generalized list of dental and oral health needs can serve as a good benchmark for evaluating policies and anticipating overall costs.</p>\n<p>It is also important to understand the different types of dental insurance plans since each will have varying out-of-pocket costs, benefits, deductibles, and more. Typically dental plans are divided into Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO), discount dental plans (DDP), and Managed Fee-for-Service Plans. Once people determine the available plans, they should also consider their budget and the covered procedures, waiting periods, and annual limits. Taking the time to evaluate dental needs, budget, and anticipated level of care can make choosing the right dental plan easier.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-insurance v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-insurance v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about finding the right dental plan\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"When selecting a dental insurance plan, people should consider several factors to find a plan that best suits their needs.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-insurance v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-insurance v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about coverage under dental plans\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"find-out-what-procedures-dental-insurance-covers\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Coverage Under Dental Plans</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>It is important to know what each type of dental insurance plan covers and does not cover. If an issue does arise, dental insurance will usually help cover a portion of the treatment cost, so people do not have to pay the full bill by themselves. Carefully review each potential insurance policy to budget for expected and possible emergency dental expenses.</p>\n<p>Preventative dental care is usually 100% covered since it catches signs and symptoms of dental disease early and reduces the chance that a patient will need more complex treatment later. This will cover routine preventive and diagnostic care, such as cleanings and exams. Most plans have limits of coverage. Not all dental plans include coverage for orthodontic services, so people should carefully read the details of their plan. If unsure whether dental insurance covers preventative dental care or orthodontic services, people should call their provider to learn more about the plan details.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-insurance v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"dental-insurance v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about coverage under dental plans\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"If unsure whether dental insurance covers preventative dental care or orthodontic services, people should call their provider to learn more about the plan details.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-insurance v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-insurance v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Dental Insurance services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"dental-insurance-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Dental Insurance in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Dental-Insurance\">Dental Insurance in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-insurance v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-insurance v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about affordable care online enrollment\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"affordable-dental-care\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Affordable Care Online Enrollment</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a comprehensive healthcare reform intended to extend health insurance coverage to millions of uninsured Americans by legally requiring them to buy health insurance.

class=\"DGspeakableP1\">Complete health dentists understand the oral-systemic link and implement it throughout their practice. Accordingly, they conduct a blood pressure screening during every dental visit to ensure the body is ready for treatment. A blood pressure test can reveal much about the patient’s health and well-being and may even determine whether they will undergo a dental procedure or not.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">During the initial consultation appointment, a standard procedure typically involves a blood pressure check, a thorough examination of the mouth and body, a medical history review, and X-rays. By checking blood pressure every visit, we can help determine any lifestyle changes that may have a negative impact on one’s health.  Patient inclusion is of high priority, and we will discuss what a patient’s screening means and how treatments will progress thereafter.</p>\n<p>Information on dental blood pressure screenings is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. We can discuss the importance of checking blood pressure and how it affects your overall health.

It is usually caused by an underlying disease, medications being taken, pregnancy, an infection, or lack of nutrition. Common symptoms of low blood pressure are dizziness, fatigue, nausea, fainting, dehydration, blurred vision, pale skin, and mild depression.</p>\n<p>In most cases, screening results revealing low blood pressure do not affect many dental procedures. In the case of significantly low screenings, we may ask the patient to drink water and a sweet beverage or fruit to raise their blood pressure or reschedule for another visit. Low blood pressure is only alarming if a patient is experiencing dizziness or fatigue as local anesthesia and drilling can add too much stress and lead to variable results.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-office-blood-pressure-screening v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-office-blood-pressure-screening v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about low blood pressure\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Low blood pressure occurs when the brain does not receive enough blood.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-office-blood-pressure-screening v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-office-blood-pressure-screening v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about high blood pressure\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"does-high-blood-pressure-affect-dental-treatment\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">High Blood Pressure</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>High blood pressure (HBP), often called <a title=\"Read more about hypertension\" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-pressure/symptoms-causes/syc-20373410\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Dental-Office-Blood-Pressure-Screening\">hypertension</a>, occurs when the pressure of blood against artery walls is consistently high. HBP increases the heart’s workload, causing damage to the delicate tissues of the arteries.

Unmanaged HBP can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, vision loss, kidney disease, and sexual dysfunction.</p>\n<p>Dental treatments often, if not always, involve at least a minimal amount of stress incurred by local anesthesia and drilling. Blood pressure typically rises during dental procedures in an average person but can be life-threatening to patients with HBP as it increases their risk of a heart attack or stroke. At the same time, oral conditions, such as cavities, may be the cause of their HBP.

The second force is created as the heart rests between heartbeats.\" A normal blood pressure reading is between 120/80 mm Hg, systolic over diastolic. High blood pressure refers to a systolic number higher than 120 and the diastolic number higher than 80.

However, factors such as inactivity, poor nutrition, obesity, older age, genetics, health conditions, and medications play a significant role. Blood pressure increases with age and is almost inevitable; it is important to notice it and learn how to manage it as soon as possible.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What health problems are associated with blood pressure?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Several serious health conditions affect and are affected by blood pressure including, but not limited to: Atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque in the blood vessels; heart disease and heart failure; kidney disease; stroke; and eye disease. High blood pressure can also increase risks of underlying health problems. Therefore, managing your blood pressure helps reduce symptoms of other health conditions while also avoiding the potential risks of HBP.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Patients with consistently high blood pressure often experience strong headaches, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, nosebleeds, blood in urine, and low exercise tolerance. Severe hypertension or prolonged lack of treatment can lead to heart attacks, heart failure, and stroke.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How can I treat high blood pressure at home?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">As HBP is linked to obesity and lack of exercise or nutrition, it is a good idea to incorporate safe exercises and proper nutrition in order to lose weight. Smoking also largely affects the heart and blood vessels, so quitting is highly recommended to reduce symptoms. Lastly, excessive alcohol and salt consumption are considered triggers for HBP; it is important to limit their consumption to alleviate symptoms.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the side effects of high blood pressure medication?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">There are many types of blood pressure medications and their side effects may vary. Common side effects include weakness, headaches, fatigue, constipation, ankle swelling, diarrhea, low potassium levels, low sexual ability, and weight gain. This is an important discussion to have with your doctor as many symptoms lead to other complications or may worsen a condition you have.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ dental-office-blood-pressure-screening v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"dental-office-blood-pressure-screening v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.
