How can I fix a gap in my front teeth without braces?
You can have veneers placed to close the gap.although I would recommend braces/ clear braces ie: Invisalign if you can do it. READ MORE
Why do my gums bleed during dental scraping?
Most probably because you have a lot of build up and inflammation. So when they clean the build up and do gingival curretage it bleeds. You need to do better oral hygien.

How soon after a root canal can I get a crown?
I recommend as soon as possible, if you have a temporary filling after the root canal, it could wear off real fast and expose the root canal to your oral cavity and the natural bacteria that’s there and thus lead to failing if the root canal. Also teeth are very fragile after root canal and you could break the tooth when eating even a piece of soft bread. READ MORE
Do teeth gaps close over time?
No they don’t. READ MORE
Can brushing your teeth help a toothache?
Once you have a toothache, you need to have it checked by your dentist, toothache means you have an underlying issue, brushing won’t remove cavity once you have it, it will help with your gum health and prevent further cavities on your other teeth, but I recommend you see your dentist as soon as possible to gave the tooth in pain checked. READ MORE
Should old amalgam fillings be replaced?
Only if they cosmetically bother you OR if there is a cavity underneath the amalgam filling. READ MORE
Why choose Invisalign?
Invisalign is clear, and thus people like it. But besides the cosmetic advantage, it is removable, so it is easy to eat food and not get food stuck in between the brackets. You can remove them, eat, brush and floss your teeth easily and then replace them back in your mouth. So in the long run also helps with future cavities post ortho due to the ease of brushing and flossing. READ MORE
What to eat after filling a cavity?
Anything you want as long as the numbness is gone. The only reason we ask parents to not eat anything right after a filling, is because they could bite their tongue, lips or cheeks due to being numb after a dental work. READ MORE
How do you manage a cavity when you can't see a dentist?
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do but to take care of it by a dentist, but since you can’t see one now due to pandemic, make sure to keep the tooth clean, by flossing and brushing after each meal, avoid sugary food to prevent sensitivity and pain, since once there is a cavity sweets will cause pain, and schedule an appointment with your dentist as soon as they open.
