Dr. Jamal Farouk Khatib D.D.S.'s Expert Contributions
When should pain from a tooth extraction stop?
Typically one to two days if the area remains free of infection. Keep the extraction site clean and the socket free of food debris. READ MORE
How can you tell if you have a deep cavity?
We rely on interpreting the X-rays taken to determine the extent of the cavity/decay. Take care! READ MORE
How long does it take to tighten braces?
Typically every two weeks. Keep in mind, it really depends on the case. Please discuss it with your orthodontist. Take care! READ MORE
Does Invisalign look natural?
Thank you for a great question. Although it does not look entirely natural to dentists, it is the best available in terms of looking natural. Also, keep in mind that there may be other alternatives to consider. READ MORE
Does an overbite need to be corrected?
If you are looking for straight teeth, yes. However, you may be happy with your teeth, and they look beautiful as they are. It is really entirely up to you if it is only considered for cosmetic reasons. Take care! READ MORE
Can brushing help painful gums?
Brushing is always important and can help slow plaque growth. Visit your dentist and discuss the underlying cause. You may need SCRP or deep cleaning to improve your condition. Take care. READ MORE
Is anesthesia needed for wisdom tooth removal?
I would definitely recommend it. I have yet to see any wisdom teeth removed without anesthesia. The types of anesthesia vary. Take care! READ MORE
How many times can a filling be replaced?
Great question. A filling or restoration can be replaced as deemed necessary. For example, if there is decay or fracture. Take care! READ MORE
Does dental anesthesia make you nauseous afterwards?

How is a crown removed from an implant?
It depends on the type of crown placed. Talk to your prosthodontist about it. They will be better able to help you. Take care! READ MORE
Can a child with sensitive gums get braces or Invisalign?
I would not recommend it. The reason is that you are trying to give your son a better smile, but if he is experiencing sensitivity, the standard of care is to treat the sensitivity followed by braces. READ MORE

Please do not use hydrogen peroxide. It can lead to irreversible sensitivity. There are other options. READ MORE
