Dr. David Plaut's Expert Contributions
  • Do cavities ever need to be refilled?

    Yes, it is common to redo cavities. In fact, that is one of the most important things that is accomplished on a dental exam. I have found that many dentists do not check underneath fillings for recurrent decay, which often leads to root canal. In your case, where you have a lot of pain after he filling, the redoing may be due to some other reason. I advise you to ask your dentist if he sees any decay under fillings and, if yes, to redo that filling. READ MORE

  • Can my silver fillings be replaced with white fillings?

    Of course they can, but be forewarned that the ”modern” composite fillings are much more likely to end with root canals so you have to be careful with wholesale replacement. READ MORE

  • My son grinds his teeth. What can you do to help him?

    They grow out of it, and in my experience treatment is not necessary. READ MORE

  • How often do you need your teeth cleaned?

    After practicing for over forty years, I have seen that there should be no set answer to that question. I am assuming that you fall in the normal category, without any unusual conditions. Many offices recommend a six-month recall. I do not think the ADA endorses such a practice. Recall examinations and regular cleaning are a function of how often the teeth become loaded with plaque and calculus. Some people and in my experience a large percentage of people, do need regular cleanings. What's more, they do not benefit from a regular cleaning. It really is quite simple, look in the mirror and carefully inspect your teeth. If they look clean, they do not need what is referred to as a Prophy. They may still need a cleaning under the gums to remove calculus. In my experience, a minority of people need such a treatment. The same is true for recall exams. If you are a person with active dental problems, then a 6-month recall makes a lot of sense. But if you typically have only minor dental issues, a yearly of even bi yearly exam makes more sense. This is what I recommend to most of my patients. A dentist who has experience should be able to make a judgement about how long an interval is sensible. READ MORE

  • Is a root canal in pregnancy safe?

    There is no reason not to have a root canal during pregnancy, I have done many with no problem. Nor have I ever heard or read any documented problems. I think that a pregnant mom in terrible pain can't be good for baby!! READ MORE

  • The dentist has recommended my son’s tooth extraction. Is it the right way to go?

    Obviously, in individual cases the answer may vary, but in general I do not even attempt to fill front teeth of children, because they are the first to fall out, and they almost never cause pain, so unless there is very gross disfigurement, I would leave them be. READ MORE

  • How can I stop pushing on my front teeth when I swallow?

    Two options make a strong retainer for your front teeth to hold them in position, or bond a barb to the outside surface of tooth to unlearn that habit READ MORE
