Dr. Conway F. Jensen D.D.S.'s Expert Contributions
  • What happens if a broken tooth goes untreated?

    The answer to that question all depends on the severity of the tooth break. If it is just a small fracture then the tooth can be in not treated for quite some time but it’s recommended that it is repaired before more damage or other issues occur. If the tooth fracture is quite large and approaching the nerve tissue that is a more severe issue. That tooth should be treated immediately or you can expect to have a severe pain, root canal and possible future extraction. If the tooth is fractured quite severely extraction may be your only option. So the best way to figure this out is to of course visit your dentist have them take an x-ray and have a good discussion with them. Without an x-ray and exam this question is almost impossible to answer for you Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • Do I need a root canal?

    If your dentist recommended it based on findings and you want to keep your tooth, then yes you should have one. The other option is extraction if the tooth nerve is involved. Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • Can I straighten my teeth without braces?

    No Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • Can being obese be related to having cavities?

    I'm not sure there is a correlation. Cavities are caused by bacteria and a food source for the bacteria. Frequently eating increases the acidic environment or your mouth as the bacteria become more active. This increases the risk of dental caries. Brushing removes the bacteria and the acid they produce thereby reducing the risk of cavities. So, diet and oral hygiene contributes a great deal to cavities. High simple carbohydrates like sugar in our diets increases that risk even more. So basically diet, types of food, and oral hygiene all contribute. All of which can be decreased by good oral hygiene.

  • How critical is a wisdom tooth abscess infection?

  • Is it possible to remove dark spots on my tongue?

    Discolored tongue tissue is not normal unless you just ate a green or purple lollipop. If it’s not returning back to normal in a day or less, I highly suggest you visit your dentist for an evaluation. Dr. Jensen READ MORE

    No. Not required, but brushing and cleaning is required. Dr. Jensen READ MORE

  • Can gum disease kill you?

    Gum disease can be serious. We know that the bacteria that cause it can travel to other parts of the body like your heart. Some studies report it linked to heart disease. Prevention is always the best medicine. Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • How do you know when a crown needs to be replaced?

    Crowns last for years and years. The best way to know if it needs replacing is to ask your dentist. Regular checks-ups are in place to monitor all restorations and oral health. Radiographs and oral exams can evaluate the heath of the crown. Dr. Jensen READ MORE

  • Can a decaying wisdom tooth cause headaches?

    Yes, it can. If you're having pain, please see your dentist before dental infection starts. Dr. Jensen READ MORE

  • What can I eat before a bone graft?

  • What is the difference between a filling and an inlay?

    A filling is a one time appointment where a white (composite) or silver (amalgam) is placed. An inlay or onlay is sometimes a two-appointment visit where a gold or nowadays porcelain filling is placed. The tooth is first prepared and impression taken where the lab or in-office mill machine makes the onlay. Then cemented. Dr. Jensen READ MORE

  • Can an infected root canal tooth be saved?

    I’d first start seeing the dentist again. There are a few reasons why it could of failed. Some of those reasons can be fixed. Sometimes dispite all good efforts the tooth may not be saved. Talk with your dentist, make a good choice with the information. Good luck Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • How can I get rid of gum pain at home?

    Gum pain can from from many types of causes. Can be from the gums themselves or underlying bone or teeth. Please see your dentist as pain is not normal and should be evaluated. Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • Why do my gums bleed in the mornings?

    It is possible you have some form of gum disease. It ranges from mild gingivitis to periodontal disease. There are many reasons for this. You should talk with your dentist about the issue. Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • Can a cracked dental bridge be repaired?

    It is possible depending on where and what dental material it is fractured on, plus the state or health of the supporting teeth, etc. There is not a simple answer for this. There are too many variables involved. I’m guessing it’s an old appliance. I would suggest talking with your dentist. You can’t answer most questions on the internet with limited Information. Dr. Jensen READ MORE

  • Should I have gum pain after getting a tooth pulled?

    You can experience discomfort from an extraction for many days depending on the type and severity of the extraction. Your body needs to heal. Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • How do dental onlays differ from crowns?

    A crown vs onlay. A crown is full coverage of the tooth tip to gums. A large portion of the top and sides of the tooth are removed. Usually used when a large portion of the tooth is fractured, decayed or destroyed or when a root canal has been performed. An onlay is a more conservative way to replace some or all of the top portion of a tooth when a filling is not appropriate. It does not replace all surfaces of the tooth. It is a great way to keep the tooth without cutting large portions of it way and just replacing the portion that is affected. Dr Jensen READ MORE

  • How effective are fillings for baby teeth?

    Filings are very effective in baby teeth. Most pain and sensitivity is caused by cavities. So by feeling the tooth it removes that pain and discomfort. Therefore the fillings on baby teeth are very effective. If left unintended it can cause a lot more difficulties. It is important though that after the fillings are done that your child maintains a good oral hygiene. That way the teeth will become less sensitive over time. Dr Jensen READ MORE
