  • Does having a filling replaced hurt?

    You would be given a local anesthesia for the treatment, but once the cavity is filled, it depends on how deep and close to the nerve pulp the cavity was, sometimes due to the proximity of cavity to the nerve, causes the tooth to be sensitive for a while after it’s filled. READ MORE

  • What causes your gums to bleed?

    Poor oral hygiene is a main cause of gums bleeding, which leads to gingivitis and later periodontal problems. You need to be seen by your dentist or hygienist for your regular dental cleaning at least 2/year, and then you need to continue with a good home dental hygiene, such as flossing and brushing after each large meal. READ MORE

  • What does it mean when I tap my dental implant and it hurts?

    Many things, if you recently had a dental filling and you are experiencing a pain when tapping on the tooth, it could mean that the restoration might be a bit high and just a simple occlusal adjustment will take care of the discomfort. If you have a very large restoration on the tooth, that has been there for a long time, you might have cavity into the nerve with possibly needing a root canal, it could be a fracture. Best way to find out the cause is to be seen by your dentist for a clinical exam and X-rays to evaluate the cause of the discomfort. READ MORE

  • Can teeth be saved with periodontal disease?

  • Can I use mouthwash with Invisalign?

  • Is pericoronitis a serious condition?

    Pericoronitis, simply means gum tissue over your tooth, that is not erupted completely. It can be a serious condition if left untreated. If there is no room for the tooth to erupt completely, you need to have the tooth removed, however if there is room for the eruption your dentist could remove the tissue to help with the eruption of the tooth using laser or surgical blades. Once again, it depends on the situation, which will be determined by your dentist once you visit him/her. Pericoronitis can become infected and cause swelling if left alone since you irritate the tissue every time you chew food and food can get impacted under the loose tissue. READ MORE

  • How fast does gingivitis progress?

    Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease. Here you have redness and bleeding of the gums, if not treated early on it will lead to periodontitis where it will effect the surrounding bone and lead to bone loss, tooth mobility and eventually loss of teeth. READ MORE
