Dr. Drew A. Shulman DMD's Expert Contributions
Can I drink coffee if I have periodontitis?
Yes, It doesn't matter what you drink. What is important is that you brush and floss daily as well as see your dentist or periodontist for treatment. Drew A. Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Can I brush my Invisalign with toothpaste?
In my opinion, yes. You are only wearing each aligner for a few weeks, so any possible micro-scratches would not be an issue. Drew A. Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
When can I use mouthwash after implant surgery?
Gently in a few days READ MORE
When can I stop rinsing with salt water after tooth extraction?
About a week. If it is a lower tooth extraction and the hole is large, I would do it longer to keep washing the food out of the extraction site. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Canker sores or oral cancer?
Looks like canker sore. Canker sore will go away in 1-2 weeks. If it doesn’t you should definitely see someone and try to stop vaping! READ MORE
How do you make your teeth stop hurting after eating sweets?
Sensitivity after eating sweets can be an indication for cavities. It would be a good idea to see a dentist. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
What to do if your tooth is loose and it hurts?
Of course, what other options are there. READ MORE
How do you close a gap in your teeth without orthodontics?
Ask about porcelain veneers. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Are you asleep during wisdom teeth removal?
You can be put to sleep or just be given “Novocain “. Both options exist. You should discuss the pros and cons with your dentist. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
I had a recent extraction procedure but there are fragments still in the x-ray?
The oral surgeon is correct. It is not unusual to have a sharp edge of bone protrude through the gum. It is easy to shave down so the gum can grow over it and close the extraction site. Drew Shulman DMD, MAGD READ MORE
I have oral, gums, and bones pain?
Go to the dentist ASAP. This is not something you should be treating yourself. READ MORE
How do you clean under dental implants?
If they are crowns, a nylon floss threader works well. A Water pick will also be helpful. If an implant is lost, it is often from gum disease. The cleaner you keep them, the longer they will last . Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Help my braces brack just came off in my sleep?
This is a common occurrence. It is okay to wait until next week. You can leave it alone and let it slide around. If it is attacked to the big wire by a rubber band, you can get someone to slide something under the rubber band to disconnect it. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
What to avoid after dental implants?
If there is not a tooth or a denture pressing against the new implant, there are few eating restrictions. If there is a tooth or denture attached, stay with soft foods. You want to minimize pressure on the implant z Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Is throbbing pain after a root canal normal?
Throbbing for a few days after a root canal can be expected. Hopefully you have pain medication. If you experience increased swelling or pain after a few days, you should contact your dentist. READ MORE
Tooth infection that won't go away?
Get a second opinion at a different oral surgeon. READ MORE
How long do gaps take to close with braces?
It depends on the size of the gap. Your best bet is to see a dentist or orthodontist who does Invisalign/braces. Many will give you a free consult. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Do I need dental anesthesia to get my wisdom teeth removed?
You definitely need anesthesia. Either local (Novocaine) or general ( where you are put to sleep). This is a discussion you should have with your dentist. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Do all implants require bone grafts?
No, but many of them do. If in doubt, do the bone graft. It could only help the success of the implant. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAGD READ MORE
Is there a cheaper alternative to dental implants?
A removable partial denture. Drew Shulman, DMD, MAHD READ MORE
